Hmm where to start... Well my computer decided one day when I was initializing watching my anime Hetalia that both monitors decided to cut out yet the computer was still running. I turned it back on it worked like normal but after trying to initialize my anime Hetalia again both monitors died again... After the 3rd time turning it on nothing happened at all. The computer turned on LED for power is fully bright on and the CPU LED light blinks once (which is not normal). It won't even show the pre-load of the bios on my monitor just a blank black screen. The fans keep going and going at maximum speed but never do what they usually do and slow down after about 4-5 secs after startup.
Everything seems to be powered like always so I don't think it could be the PSU. The two primary components I believe are the problem makers are the graphics card or the motherboard. Now I disconnected everything not necessary like extra HD's,external HD's, Soundcard, All USB connections, etc and still it doesn't work. I run both my 19" monitors duel on the Nvidia 8800 GT which is suspect #1 because my monitors are connected to it. For my motherboard I think it could be a problem also because it won't load anything usually when I turn on the computer both monitors lights go blue and then I see the Gigabyte pre-load screen but now none of this happens and usually the harddrive goes and makes noise and the cpu light is going crazy.
I've never encountered such a problem before. I know both my monitors work flawlessly because I tested them both out on my laptop (which im currently using) I've had this computer for 2 1/2 years now and have had extremely minimal problems with this rig I built. I'm seeking out any wisdom anyone else has that I can't think of or know. Thanks for your time and help.
