ok so here goes, earlier today I was using my compterand it was working just fine, I leaave the room for a couple hours to do something else. I come back and the computer is still on but the monitor is black. I restart, same thing monitor stays black with the amber LED on.
specs:
a7n8x deluxe
amd 2500
1gb crucial 333
bfg 5900xt oc
60 gb WD hdd

anybody have an idea of what the problem may be? my best guess is the video card but I dont have a spare to test it with.
 
Power Supply. That'd definetly be the suspect #1, does the computer give the "i've posted" beep?
 
ok I just tried a different power supply and the same thing still happens, computer turns on but nothing shows up on the monitor.

I dont have one of those little speakers plugged in and I cant seem to find one right now, so I don't know if it beeps.
 
ok I tried a different video card now also and that doesn't work.
I found a speaker that I pluged into the motherboard and it doesnt make any beeps when I turn on the computer.
