Alright, so I built a computer a few months ago for the family, and it's worked fine apart from a few minor problems.
But today, when I got home, I was told it wasn't working, the screen and keyboard had no signal etc.
So I unplugged everything, checked the connections, plugged it back in, and it worked!
Then a little while later, the same thing happened again, and I can't fix it.
Basically, the problem is:
The monitor has no signal
The keyboard isn't working (caps lock, num lock lights don't come on when pressed)
I also don't think the mouse is working, as I'm pretty sure it's optical, but there's no light.

All the fans and lights on the tower, PSU, GPU etc. are working fine. Also, the lights of the keyboard come on with the initial flash when the computer is first powered on, but then don't work after that.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, and how to fix it?
 
neither are wireless, and I've tried another mouse. Also I don't think that's the problem, because the monitor's stopped working too. Thanks for the reply though.
 
you need another rig to test everything in.

I'd check the monitor works as it's probably the easiest.
