Hey all! the other night i went to turn on my pc and it started booting up but then my monitor went to no signal, the comp sounds like it continued to boot up, thought maybe a cord came loose or maybe even the board, checked, everything seemed to be in correctly but still crashes before boot is acheived!!!! it seems like a video card error but i want to make sure before i go and buy a new one only to find out it was something else...any suggestions on how to figure this one out?

****UPDATE****
i switched out the videocard with one from a friend and the same thing happened, so i think its safe to say its not the video card...Motherboard maybe? it just really sounds like its running top notch though, thats why i didnt think it was the MB.
