Hey -
I'm suddenly getting no video input and having monitor go to sleep (plus return to mode)on boot; system appears to be booting normally (single beep at beginning, reading disk drives, etc.) but no video input to monitor. Same on different monitor. Happened before but fixed itself (I thought tightening RAM was the reason) but I could get it to come on if I put monitor mode to DVI at exact time as power up; now nothing but very quickly going into sleep mode. I have noticed some wiggly screen action for about 10 seconds upon a cold startup.
Is my card shot?
And if so, can anyone recommend something comparable for this build? I would be so grateful as I am really strapped for time to research at this time.
Thanks a million,
Laura
