I had another thread about a weird beeping issue I was getting with this system
here
Up until now that is the only problem I have had with the system. I want to state very clearly that the prior beeping was
not during POST, only randomly while the computer was in regular usage. There is also currently no POST or boot up beeping either.
Anyway, I was playing a game on the system and the screen just goes black and at the same time a weird audio distortion started coming out of the speakers.
I reboot the system, and the screen comes back, I get into windows, and boot up Firefox to come here--the screen dies before I can get that done.
I restart again, this time the MoBo's flash screen displays, then the screen goes blank (as if there is no signal.)
Now the screen is permanently black with no signal no matter what I do. I have used the "test" button on the monitor and it displays "Test Good" on the screen when I do this.
Anyone have any advice for this problem? I think my first step is going to be reseating the Video Card however the card is HUGE and it is a pain manipulating it inside the case so I hope to not have to do that if there is any quick fix that anyone can suggest.
I should add the system still seems to be working, just with no video. When I turn the system on, after a minute or so I hear Windows XP start up, and when I turn the system off, I hear it shut down.
