PROBLEM somewhat IDENTIFIED AND SOLVED!--- Swapping from my DVI to VGA cables worked. Why I don't know, but it worked.
Check this thread out if you are also experiencing this problem, some people may need to revert to ancient drivers, but for me swapping cables worked!---

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Major problem, I need help!
Specs--
E8400 cpu
2gb ddr 800
8800GTS 512mb
Vista Ultimate 32bit
22" LCD display widescreen
Everything has been working just fine, but I went to bed earlier and left the PC on idleing... I woke up a few hours later to see it had shut down.
I turned it back on, and everything seemed ok I can see the post, and windows loading bar on the black screen.... BUT just as it it supposed to display the welcome to windows screen--- it goes black, monitor then says "no signal".
Now everytime I boot in, the same thing happens- no signal.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED AND LEARNED---
I am currently typing to you all in safe mode. Safe mode works fine.
I uninstalled my graphics drivers from safe mode, and I was then able to boot into normal windows just fine.
I then installed the drivers and restarted, I then get the same NO SIGNAL problem!
I have tried rolling back windows
I have tried starting in VGA (low res mode)
I have checked the cables
Bad vid card? I wish I had a spare PCI X card to test But I don't see how the card could be bad.... It is running, the fan is working on it, I am typing to you guys right now using it (just not the drivers apparently lol) so the card must still be ok?
Well I'll check back every now and then as I desperately try to solve this, any advice would be appreciated!
