Due to financial contraints, I haven't got a new computer. I need one bad, as mine's nearly obsolete; anywho, enough with my sob story. I was playing Magic: the Gathering Online last night, when all of a sudden my screen blanked out on me. I hear the compuyter boot when it starts, so I don't THINK it's the motherboard, but it might be. My 19" LCD monitor is hooked up to my Radeon X800 XT card (AGP), and the connection is fine, the card is getting power because the fan is working fine but my monitor tells me no signal. I tried another monitor, no signal. The only other thing I can think of to try before I have to scrap the card is to reseat it. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Some LCD's allows you to choose the input type from the LCD's buttons. You might want to try that. If you can use another videocard, that is one of the best ways of testing it out...
 
I don't have another video card :( I guess I'll have to borrow or buy one to be sure.
 
Or stick your videocard in another computer...
