when i tried to start my computer this morning i saw that it wasnt responding. it also wasnt in standby mode... so i plugged it into my friends computer to see if i needed a new monitor. however my monitor worked fine on his computer. i then tried to see if my video card was broken. ofcourse, my video card is working fine. I even tried to put 2 other video cards inside my computer, one was a pci the other not. neither worked inside my computer, so it is not the motherboard pci or video card slot. i then decided it must be a ram issue. this was not the case either, because i tried putting my friends ddr ram inside my own computer... i even tried putting it into the 3rd ram slot which is unused by my computer. i tried every ram combination possible just for kicks and nothing. i have decided that it is a mother board or a cpu issue. unfortunatly i dont have a spare cpu or mother board handy... if anyone knows what the problem is plz tell me... i even resorted to calling tech support for all my components and the best buy geek squad... REALLY BAD MOVE
