I'll try to be as concise as possible.
I have a rig:
Abit NF7-S
AMD XP 2500+
Seagate 80GB
512 MB Geil RAM PC3200
Toshiba DVD-RW
Lite-On CD-RW
Radeon 9600
So what happened was, I turned on the computer this morning, and low and behold, nothing happened. The computer was on, the motherboard lights were on, but nothing was happening. The monitor kept displaying the message "No source detected!", which is displayed when the monitor is not plugged into the computer at all, and the keyboard and mouse were not lit up. I tried pressing the numlock key and other keys to see if anything on they keyboard would light up, but I had no luck. The light on the optical mouse wasn't on either. So after turning on the computer, all that happens is that I can see my fancy lights inside, the fans workin, and the motherboard lights on. Other than that, nothing works.
I'm guessing it's the motherboard, since the keyboard, mouse, and the video card (which is plugged into the mobo), are all directly connected to the mobo. The DVD/CD drives can open & close, but that's just because the power supply is working and powering them up.
I doubt this could be the cause, but it's a possibility: right as I turned on the computer, I slightly shocked the case. The case should have absorbed the shock though, and it shouldn't have affected the internal components of the computer at all.
Anyone have any ideas?
