specs:
dfi ultra-d
corsair xms 2gb
3800+ x2 dual core
bfg 7800gt oc edition
raptor
audigy 2 zs
antec truepower 2.0 550watt psu
logisys monitor with vga to dvi converter
built/installed everything along with all new drivers and sp2. computer was working fine.. got some bf2 in as well as fear. i was playing fear for a while then went out. fear was running just fine. after playing fear all that was running was steam which was downloading dod:s and hl2 demo and aim with an away message up. i came home later and the monitor looked like it was in standby mode (power led flashing and black screen.) i moved the mouse/hit keys and the computer never came back from what i thought was standby mode. i tried rebooting the computer, and the same thing happened. i noticed that when i unplugged the monitor from the graphics card the monitor didn't display no signal, so at first i thought the monitor was screwed up. but when i removed the converter it did display the no signal screen. when i boot the computer, i listen to see if the xp music plays sometime as the computer boots.. it doesn't, although i can't guarantee the sound is even on because i cannot remember.
ideas?
