Video troubles.

Hi all. Im having a bit of a situation with my computer.
First off here are the specs.

Intel Core2Duo CPU
onboard vga
2GB RAM
250GB HDD

Heres the issue. One day, i decide to turn on the computer and the monitor doesnt show video. The video is connected because it doesnt show the usual "No signal" on the screen. I restarted the computer, still nothing. Check all connections, everything was fine. Tested out the monitor just in case on my other computer and it works fine. I had an extra video card, so i installed it into the machine to see if it would work.. Still nothing. On top of that, the front LED that turns on when the power goes on doesnt light up anymore. From what i know, it seems that either the Mobo is having some serious issue with the power, or the CPU is fried. could anyone shine some light on my situation? much thanks in advance.

Hi derfman First ask other people who have used to PC if they had any problems or changed anything (little brothers are known problem creaters). then inspect the interior for loose connections and try reseating everything except the cpu, careful of static electricity of course. try booting to safe mode - keep pressing the f8 keys at start up Or it may be time to take the PC to the repair shop Dude. It would be well work the money to get a clear answer to you problem.
