vid card problems

[yaya]

hey guys need some help

here it goes....
winxp
asus mini motherboard
amd 2400

all i did was unplug my computer and move it to another location. when i went to start it up everything loaded fine. my motherboard read my vid card, geforce 5600 fx ultra. when the win xp splash loads and finishes, my monitor goes blank and my vid card fan stops. i get a display of "no input signal" something like that....

i have done the following

-checked PCI card fitment (reinstalled over and over)
-uninstalled geforce software from device manager
-the integrated vid supply works fine (using that now)
-checked power supply
-WTF
-my bios settings even read to use the PCI slot as a primary for vid output.
worked fine an hour ago, but now that ive moved my comp it isnt reading my vid card after the winxp splash

thanks for any input

uhh did i post this in the right section? it said forum help....so.....yeah..... mods move this plz if this is not for help with computers, and help with the forum itself.... thanks

Forum help if for help with the forum. We have an entire section dedicated to video cards which is, conveniently, right below this forum.

I assume this will get moved, though, so I'll go ahead and try to answer your question. Does the whole computer die or is it just the video? Can you, for example, still turn numlock on and off after the video dies? I know this may sound like a lot of hassle, but a quick test to determine where the problem is is to put the video card in a different computer and see if you have the problem. Then at least you will know if the problem is with the video card or the computer.
