No video?

[magneto125]

This is the second time i've had this problem. My brother was tryin to install a game and my comp threw up the bsod. When we rebooted it i had no video and the hdd's contiuously seek forever! The last time it kinda fixed itself. I reseated all the cards and ram. But it would only work with my cd burner and my dvd drive disconnected?........Then all of a sudden it just started workin again with everything connected?....wierd huh.....Well i'm just wondering what the hell is goin on....is my mobo bad or something? I'm gonna try what i did last time to see it that works?....
Any suggestions would be appreciated........

I have a system with a k7s5a and a visiontek Geforce 2 GTS, whenever this computer is not shut down properly and sometimes when it is restarted, it has very similar symptoms. I found that the monitor is losing Sync because of the video card. Turning "off" and then "on" the monitor restores the picture, it happens with both a KDS and Samsung monitor so I know its the video card and K7s5a interacting, another system with the same video card and an FIC AZ11EA does not have this problem. Hope your solution is as simple as mine was.
