I posted here a couple of days ago outlining the problem I have been having with my computer
Here is a link to read about it: problems
Well it got narrowed down to that I needed a new graphics card, so I went out and bought a EVGA Geforce 6600GT, and that pretty much fixed the problems.
Well today I get up to get ready for class and use my computer as usual and everything is fine. I come home to find a black screen. Computer is still on, so I move mouse, push some keys thinking it may be in standby mode, but no, nothing. So I restart it.
Once again, the computer boots up, gets to the windows loading screen and then the screen goes black. Now I'm thinking maybe it is the video cable or the monitor itself. Change cables and monitors and still same problem.
What is happening is that the video card is not sending a signal to the monitor because right after the windows logon screen goes away a "No Signal" appears on the monitor and basically it shuts itself off. (By the way this is a LCD 19in hooked up through DVI and yes I tried the regular analog just to make sure its not the DVI)
So whats the problem, can't possibly be a hardware problem as I'm getting the same results with a brand new video card. Everything else works on the computer as usual. The short time that it was working correctly after I put in the new video card, everything worked A-OK. So what could it be? Please help!
