My desktop computer will start, and I can log into windows (I know this because my speakers work and I can hear the normal loading sounds) but it wont show anything on my monitor. I know the monitor isnt the problem because I can use it with a laptop of mine.

The problem started after I accidentally started my computer without having the monitor plugged in. I'm hoping I didn't fry my graphics card when i tried plugging in my monitor when it was on.

Nevermind, Its been a while since I've looked at the back of my computer. Wife had unplugged the cord for the monitor from the GRAPHICS card HDMI port and I had been trying to plug it back into the HDMI port on the MOTHERBOARD. Only figured it out after I opened the case to see if anything was loose or fried.
