First off, thanks in advance for any help given. Litterally i'm in a state of frustration from my computer.

Okay, so I was scrolling around Internet Explorer last night, when all of a sudden my screen lost signal. It's an acer flat screen LCD. I figure i'd reboot my computer and it'd be fine. So then I do this... still no signal. I look down at my keyboard, it isn't even getting power. Same with my mouse.

I opened up my computer, and aside from being EXTREMLY dusty, I didn't see anythign fried or out of place. I clean it, tried it, still no dice.

So in short, here's what works and what doesnt.

*CPU(Custom built computer) = Gets power
*Monitor(Acer Flat screen LCD) = Gets power, no signal.
Mouse(Dell optical mouse) = No power
Keyboard(Just a plain old Microsoft Keyboard) = No power
*Speakers(Dell speakers) = Get power

NOTE: Things mark with a * get power from an external cord that plugs into the wall.

EDIT: I should mention that I have a second computer. I hooked up my current computer to another monitor and it did not work. I hooked up my monitor to another computer and it did work. Conclusion : Problem is in my computer and not any external peice.

Once again, any help is appreciated.

What is your power supply? Make and model #.

Maybe swap power supply from your other comp, provided it has enough power and see what happens.

In situations like this it helps to know what your system specs are.
