Hello.
This problem happened to me once before and to be honest, I don't remember how I fixed it. I think I just unplugged and plugged everything back in.
When I turn my PC on (I think my specs are still under my name--[edit: nope, editing them in]) I get no video output. The monitor just has the yellow standby LED glowing. I thought that maybe just the DVI cable was unplugged or the graphics card was loose or something. I tried every external option first, then after those didn't work (different monitor, cable, etc.) I went inside the PC and removed and replaced the RAM and video card. It still doesn't work. And now I realized that when I turn on the power for my computer, and press the power button again to turn it off after a couple minutes of waiting, it turns of instantly; no 5 seconds of holding it down or anything required. It just obligingly shuts off after less than a second of pressing the button.
My computer has worked fine up until these two occurrences (I fixed it once.)
Any ideas?
Thanks.
P.S. Yes, I'm posting this on a different computer.
edit: specs:
8800 GTS 512MB
Q6600
x38 Maximus mobo
2 GB RAM (xms 2 or something I think, I can check if you want me to)
Corsair HX520 PSU
edit: I just double checked and every component's fan starts spinning and if it has LEDs, it lights up. Monitor continues to display "No input" or nothing.
