Hi there, I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps... and I am getting no video output. Tired on multiple monitors with integrated gfx and without. I tried using HDMI, VGA, and DVI, both with and without graphics card, nothing.

I then reset the BIOS (took out CMOS batery for about 10 mins, then put back in) nothin. Everything seems to run fine, fans spin, DVD drive will eject (just to show that things are connected ;P). I have tried switching the RAM changing the RAM slots, using 1 and 2 sticks of RAM... (with and without graphics card).

I'm really running out of options here, anyone have any advice? (if you are curios, the issue happend right after Windows 7 (64 bit) installed an update.

(just to let you know NOTHING displays, monitor is 100% blank).
 
A Windows update shouldn't cause that problem. My Windows 7 is completely up to date and that's never happened to me. Try swapping in a different card. If that works, the card is dead. If it doesn't work, there may be a motherboard problem or the monitor died. Either way, I doubt it has anything to do with the Windows update. I believe that to be incidental.
