As the title says, when I boot up my computer everything is humming a long but the monitor is on standby mode. However throughout this whole process I actually hear the Windows 7 intro sound, which tells me the computer is ready.
Now when I disconnect the monitor's DB-9 cable from the GTS-250 video card and plug it in instead to the built in VGA, I'll see the Windows desktop. And then I decide to completely turn off the computer and while turned off connect the DB-9 cable back to the GTS-250 and surprise...surprise.....everyhting is working again. It's like the only way around this is to turn off the computer and turn it on agian.
So any idea on what's causing this?
1) Video card dieing?
2) Video card not getting enough power?
3) Mobo-related issue?
4) PSU not handing out enough juice?
TIA for any ideas.
P.S. Specs was overhualed a month or so ago:
