I got this problem and I don't know how the hell I can fix it.
My PC worked just fine last week (I shut it down normally, no errors occured), then, I didn't go on my PC for a week, and when yesterday I wanted to turn it on, the screen just remained black. completely BLACK as if there was no communication between the screen and the PC.
So I opened my PC to check if the graph card was plugged correctly, and yes, it was plugged correctly.
Now, I bought a new mobo some days ago, so I thought "I'll just install the new mobo and the new CPU, it will probably work again"... I changed the mobo, the RAM (from SD to DDR), the CPU, the Cooler EVEN THE POWER SUPPLY, but still the screen remained black.
Maybe it was the screen... NO, because I tried the screen on a laptop, and it worked fine. SO I tried to insert my old graphics card (PCI) and still, I have problems. Can somebody please tell me what the hell this is? I tried everything: using another mobo, other RAM, other CPU, other Graph Card (AGP and PCI), other power supply, other cooler, tried the screen on a laptop... I'm desperate.
Last thing: when I looked at the screen's connector (the thing you plug on the graph card) some of the pin's were missing, but again, it worked fine (all colors were also normal) on a laptop.
EDIT: forgot to mention: I see the LED's of the computer light up, and I hear the computer boot. I don't know if he starts windows normally tho, since I can't see anything on the screen.
Thanks for eventual help :(
