"Computer Booting, but nothing on screen." does pretty much describe it all.
The night before this started I had put it into sleep/hibernate to try it then next morning when booting it up there were some Host service problems and explorer.exe was having problems. Restated and windows was asking to be activated with they serial key after being activated and been using it for several months happily. Restarted again and then booted up yet nothing displayed on screen at all. But I think this is pretty much unrelated.
Before this all BIOS settings have been kept the same and I haven't fiddled with the innards at all except for adding a sound card and a new hard drive but they were both several months ago and the computer has been working fine and hasn't been touched since.
No bleeps from the mobo or if they are there but I'm not hearing them. Nothing on screen at all, have tested with different monitors and leads to monitor. Tried reseating gfx card, checked all power connections, tried with my 2 bits of ram separately, tried taking out cmos battery and clearing the cmos with the jumper pins.
Not sure what else to try the same thing has happened occasionally but a simple shutdown and restart just fixes it.
What else can I try, and if any more information is needed I can get it.
