Hello, I just recently built a PC and it seemed to be working just fine until right now. All of a sudden, while browsing, the entire screen became green and the computer shut off. After that, both of my two displays that I've tried are not being detected. I've tried two with two different cables and there is no signal to either of them. I've reset the CMOS to make sure but that didn't help.

Please give some advice. Thank you.

Do you have a CPU with integrated graphics?

If so power down, take out your video card, clear your CMOS, and hook up a monitor to your motherboard's video output.

If it works, it is likely your video card. Try it in another PCIe x16 slot. If not, I'd look at the PSU next, as generally after that the next test is the motherboard, and it's more difficult to test unless you have similar computers at home.
