Here is my problem:
about a week ago i shipped my computer home from college... i had just built this machine about 4 weeks ago and it was running awesome... when i shipped it i made sure i was very careful with it, and had it packed in the box and styrafoam that the case came with... when i got the stuff yesterday i pulled it out and pluged it all in... everything looked fine, but for some reason it wasnt showing up on the monitor... the monitor was showing a self test screen and told me to check the connection to the comp... i made sure that the monitor was working by connecting it to another machine, and it worked fine.. so then i thought that it was possible my video card... so then i pulled an old video card out of another machine and pluged it in to my new machine... that didnt work... so then i plugged my new video card into the older machine and it worked fine.. so now i know its not my video card so what is it? the only thing i can think of is that the mother board got cracked during shipping or something, but i hope thats not the case and was hoping that someone could give me some tips before i go buy a new mother board.. thanks
