So my video card randomly started not working.

Rather, I should say my computer stopped working.

By "stopped" working, I mean the computer still indeed powers up, but doesnt give feed to the monitor.

It's not the video card, because i tested it in different computer. It worked fine.

Also, I tested a new PSU in the computer that wasnt working.

my motherboard is an ABN-SLI socket 939.

I tried the video card in both PCIE slots. No success.

I think the motherboard PCI-E slots are fried, does that seem like a possibility?

If so, where can I purchase an ABN-SLI socket 939 motherboard for a reasonable cost?

I bought it years ago, it shouldn't be too much.
 
So no BIOS POST messages on the monitor even? You have a speaker in your system? Does it give the normal sound at power on? You can see the HD activity light going normal during boot up?

You didn't say what sort of video card it was. Have you got good power going to all optional power plugs on the video card?

You didn't tell us if you have tested your monitor / video cables on a a different system.

You would be very unlucky to have both PCIe slots fail at the same time. Do a full CMOS reset.

Can't help with with source of new MB unless your in Australia.

Thats my 2c worth.
 
No bios post.

I did indeed try the monitor on another computer. It worked.

It is a Nvidia Geforce 7600. It works on other computers. The video card has no optional power plugs.

How do you do a full CMOS reset?

I honestly didnt check for volume. Nor did I thinhk to like at the HD light. These will be 2 things for me to test.

But from what information we do have, it is most likely a motherboard failure, am I right?
