Alright the problem is kinda confusing.
My buddies computer was working perfectly fine one night and then the next morning when he turned it on the monitor registered 'no signal' from the tower.
I've personally taken a look at it and taken out the video card put it back in, made sure all the cords and wires are secure, etc. Still nothing. He has called his monitor's (Acer) tech support number and what they suggested did nothing.
Basically we've narrowed it down to three possibilities:
1) The Video Card is fried (unlikely cause it wasn't touched until after it stopped working).
2) The MoBo is fried (unlikely for the same reason).
3) The cable from the Power Supply to the Card is fried (the most likely of them).
It is an nVidia GeForce 6600 256MB PCI-X VGI/DVI/TV-out Card connected too a Acer AL1714cb 17" LCD monitor. It has worked since he had it custom built in June and just stopped working this past Friday.
I'm at a loss for answers, and my guesses are possibly if not likely way off, anyone here have any ideas?
Thanks.
