HTPC has no video

I can't figure this out. This thing worked perfectly fine until I left for winter break.

Now I come back and get no video. Processor, hard drive, and dvd-r all spin up and work. I've tried 2 different AGP video cards.

The mobo is a Gigabyte K7 Triton...the model number escapes me right now but I got it in October. Removing the RAM doesn't prompt any beeping or anything like that. I just can't figure it out.

PCI video cards also don't work. How the hell could everything else work FINE but no form of video works whatsoever?
 
That is insane. Almost this same exact thing happened during the summer when I had my old Epox 8RDA+ in that thing.

That was understandable though because that mobo was 2.5 years old and had seen some rough days being moved around and stuff. This mobo literally went in and just sat there.
 
I would start with video in on the TV (switch from DVI to Component or Component to S-Video or S-Video to RCA and see if a picture comes up). I would also unplug all the video connections, power down the TV for at least 30min and reconnect everything. Sometimes static can build up in dry cold weather in the connectors and when its turned on can cause a short.
 
It's a projector with connections managed through a Viewsonic NextVision N6. All other video works fine and my laptop puts video to the RGB connection just fine. 🙁
