Hello all. My name is David, I'm new to the forum and having an issue with my custom built gaming machine.
I am an avid gamer and last night I had left my computer on with a game running while I was out for the night. This morning when I went to my machine it was running as usual, but I was getting no signal on the monitor, and my mouse nor keyboard were working.
I tried rebooting my machine, I didn't hear any beeps or anything and still no signals from the monitor, keyboard and mouse. Other than getting no signals from anything and not hearing any beeps, the computer seems to turn on fine as I can hear the fans, the neons light up, it's Just not working. I also tried unplugging my headset, keyboard, mouse, monitor etc. and nothing.
If this helps, I do know sometimes my video card can get kind of hot in this machine if it happens to be kind of hot in the room. I live on the gulf coast and it's real hot and humid down here. So a few times I've noticed my video card would get hot when I would play a game and would cause the computer to be slower. But it was cool in my room last night, so this is why im questioning if it is the video card or not... and if it's fried.
The thing is, I don't know how to find out exactly what it is. From my little bit of knowledge, I would think it was the video card. I'm just looking for a second opinion on what could be going on here so I have an idea. If it's for sure the video card, I would be able to replace it and put it in myself without paying a shop. My problem is I don't know what it is, and I don't want to pay a lot of money for a shop to just tell me what my problem is.
Thanks in advance,
David
