Monitor gets no video input after a power surge. The pc turns on and the cpu fan rotates normally, but my monitor gives me the no video input error and goes back to sleep mode. (tried connecting the monitor to a laptop and it works)
I already tried connecting the monitor through a VGA cable, reseating the gpu and connecting the monitor to the on-board graphics card. Nothing worked.
Could my gpu be damaged?
I should also say that this whole thing started because i tried upgrading my ram. I have two slots of ram in my motherboard, one empty and one with an 8GB ram stick. So i bought another 8GB ram (same as the one i had) and tried installing it (my motherboard supports up to 32gb of ram). The pc wasn't detecting the other 8Gb of ram so i unplugged the pc and tried installing it again. The fourth time i tried installing the ram i put the new ram in the slot of the first and the old ram in the other slot. When i plugged in my pc the power in half of the house stopped. And since then my monitor does't get any video input anymore.
Help me solve the problem please. Thanks in advance.
