I need some help :(

My computer is about 4 or 5 years old but has always been super reliable, never had any problems at all.

I hit the power on button and then went to bathroom while it booted up. I returned to find message on my monitor saying "no input source" or something to that effect. I shut it down, left in a minute then tried again. This time it booted it fine, no problems.

After about 5 minutes thought the screen suddenly went blank with the same error message about no input source. The computer hadn't shutdown or anything though so i turned it off. Now, it wont boot up at all.

It powers on and everying, i can hear the fans going, but it doesn't boot. I cant hear any hard drive activity and there are none of the usual beeps.

I opened the case and tried again and all i could notice was a flashing light on one of my 2 hard drives. I tried unplugging it but still it wouldn't boot. Plugged it back in and unplugged the other hard drive. Still it wouldn't boot (althought the light on the other drive no longer flashed).

Basically, i have no idea whats gone wrong. Could it be the graphics card? Would a faulty graphics card stop the computer from booting?


Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks guys.

I'm gonna try and borrow another gfx card as i think thats the most likely source of the problem. I'm pretty certain its not a simple case of a loose connection as the PC is never moved.
