Specs

Dell 2001FP Monitor.

Ok...Was working in windows....all was cool....all of a sudden BAM restarts (not through windows, just shuts itself off, doesnt close all programs etc....just shuts off). Im thinking ummm ooooooooook....but then it seems to boot, but my monitor (Dell 2001FP) doesnt respond to anything...if i tell it to "refresh" the DVI mode it says its in power save mode.....when i unplug the monitor cable it reacts and tells me its unplugged. I plug it in, the status goes "orange" and says its in power save mode. The system seems to be booting, because the keyboard works....very odd...

Anyhow, figured it had something to do with the overclocking, so naturally I tried to reset the CMOS...I have no clue if I did or not...All i did was turn it off, unplug the cord, and use the CMOS jumper and put in the "reset position". I dont know what you do after that, but I believe I did it correctly? I even tried taking the battery out, but nothing is happening still. I know its NOT a monitor problem though. Any help?

Have you troed a different video card and monitor?

monitor definetly works. video card must be sending a response to the monitor because if you unplug the monitor from the vid card, the monitor reacts and says the DVI is unplugged. However, I will try a different video card if i dont hear anything else till then.
