Death By Yogurt
Apr 3, 2007

Problem description: For about a week my computer was experiencing frequent crashes, about two or three a day. The mouse and keyboard would become unresponsive and I would have to reboot it. I also had a few BSODs.

As of this morning my computer is no longer giving any video output on any monitor. With everything in as normal it boots to Windows as I eventually hear the sounds Windows makes when it's starting up, however my monitors are not detecting any video source at all.

I assumed it was a video card problem, but now I've also noticed that my motherboard is not giving me any beeps at all, not upon start up or even when the GPU/RAM/ and HD are removed.

At this point I'm still not sure what exactly is faulty inside, or what to even try next.

Attempted fixes:
I've tried a different monitor/DVI cables.
I've removed GPU, RAM, and HD and booted it up and it turns on.
Removed and then reset the CMOS battery.
Tried a different PCI slot of the GPU.
Unfortunately my motherboard does not have a video output so I can't test to see if I can't at least get to the BIOS screen.


Recent changes: Have you made any changes to your system/configuration recently that might have caused the problem?

Sounds like the motherboard and/or GPU might be dying.

I'd try another GPU if possible.
