I am posting this in this section as i dont know what the root of the problem is but its video related! I put my PC into standby earlier this evening and since i brought it out of standby i have had no video. The pc still works but there is no video signal coming from the pc. I have tried a different video card and got the same result and the monitor is still giving a signal from my xbox so its definately something with the pc. it is the first time i have used standby, when i tried bringing it out of standby the machine didnt respond and had to be turned off by removing the power cable (off swith & reset didnt do anything). any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated, im not sure if it is the motherboard or something to do with the graphics! thanks
