No Video..Any ideas?

[2Fresh]

It started with my sound..it went out. I tried putting sc it in a diff slot and reinstalling drivers, this did not help.The about 30min after this my video went out. I tried a diff video card and even reset the bios. Nothing.. I wonder if my mobo just took a shit.

Sounds like the mobo.

Indeed it could be the motherboard, but check power first, if that is ok, then I'd say it's time for a new motherboard.

Yeah, I am going to swap my PS tonight and see if that helps. If not..oh, well. It is about time for a new mobo/cpu anyway.

Agreed, first suspect is the psu as they constantly deteriorate.

Unplug EVERYTHING not required to get a boot, including USB devices.
If that helps, either one of the things you unplugged is faulty, the mobo voltage regulators are struggling (or another type of mobo failure) or the PSU is up the duff.

If it did start to work ok, plug things back in one by one and see if it starts to fail.
If so, try that component on another PC to verify its condition.
Try another PSU as well.

Just yesterday a friend had a similar situation with an Enermax 350W PSU.
It used to run his 6800GT just fine but started blue screening with an NV4disp error amongst other failures. Temps were fine.
We found that if I clocked the gfx ram and core very very low it worked ok so replaced the PSU as the clues pointed towards power problem.
Now his machine is way overclocked again and rock stable.
