Hi,

I was informed by someone that my HDD was going to fail soon, so I bought a new one and replaced it. My case is a huge mess, and I had to remove the GPU to install the HDD in the HDD Bay. Now I have no video, but the graphic card's fan is spinning. The motherboard is receiving power because the LED's on my soundcard are working which indicated power to the board. I tried reseating the GPU in both PCI-E slots and using different connectors to no avail. I do not have another graphic card available to test. Everything was working fine last night until I swapped hard drives. I can't tell if my PC is POSTing or not - I believe a friend of mine disabled on board video when I first built the PC to avoid conflicting driver issues in my games. I really need help.

for on-video just take out your cmos battery for 5mins and your bio's should reset enabling on-board video. can you also tell me what video card you have?

Try unplugging your system without the video card and press the power button the drain the capacitors and then re install your card
