Odd problem with blank video...

OK, so I finished rebuilding my 2600k system with a new hard drive, everything working fine, 100% load on both video cards and CPU (F@H) for a week or so, and I decide to move it back to the computer room from my workbench. So I shut it down, remove cables, and then reconnect everything in the other room, and fire it up. Bios screen, other boot-up dos type windows are fine, and with when you should see the graphic that XP is loading, its a blank screen, but the monitor thinks everything is OK, as in no message about no video signal, and no blinking light, but the screen is black.

And if I run Win XP setup, the setup screen (probably dos type) is also fine, but I don't want to start all over.
WTF ????

Any ideas ?

I figured it out. I messed with the sata cables some, and now it works. They felt like they were all hooked up, but I guess not.
