thank you very much for any advice.
 
Starters for n00b hardware debugging:

(1) unplug machine, press power button, wait 1 minute, plug back in and try again.
(2) make sure the VGA/DVI cable is in snug at both ends
(3) open computer, blow dust out with "can of air", wiggle components, maybe reseat video card and memory.

Also, I see your RAID0 setup took a dump recently. Did you kick your computer?
 
Reset the CMOS on the motherboard (pull out the battery for 5 mins before reinserting) and try again.
 
Happened to me with my 1950 XTX a year ago.. video card just faulted out on me over time the fan worked and everything. Thankfully my ASUS mobo gave me the right beeps and I had my problem diagnosed in minutes.
