I was working on my computer when all of a sudden the Blue Screen of Death appeared. It started doing a "memory dump" and I waited about 30 seconds and then I tried Crtl,Alt,Del and nothing happened so I just held the power button until it turned itself off. When I turn it back on, the computer starts just like normal, the power light comes on and the fans start up, but the monitor stays in standby mode, nothing ever comes up on the monitor. I have a second computer connected to this monitor via a KVM switch, so I know the monitor is fine. Any ideas what is wrong or how I can diagnose what the problem is? I mean if you can't see the screen, what can you do? Is is the motherboard or what? Thanks for any input.
