As of last night my pc was running fine. This morning I go to turn it on and it appears to boot up just fine. All the fans come on, beeps and it runs like it normally would. The issue is that my monitor light goes green for a few seconds; then I get the no signal message and the light turns to amber. I have reseated the video card (4870) in its original slot; tried it in the 2nd PCI slot. Also tried the same with a backup 8800GT card as well. But still the black screen.
Could this be a motherboard issue? I ask because I can say that over the past year I have gotten the "message of no hard drive detected when booting up" To solve this I simply plugged the hard drive into another sata port which has solved the issue both times. So I was thinking that the sata ports simply went bad since plugging into another solved that problem. So is it possible now the MOBO has gone bad or just the PCI slots since it does appear to boot up still and all fans run, etc.?
