Hi,

For a while now my desktop has been unable to send picture to any monitor. It started out by freezing the picture on the screen and then going out, but a restart would fix it for a time. Now nothing shows up at all at any point. I'm not entirely helpless, but nothing I have tried has had any effect. At this point I've tried changing out video cards, monitors, and connectors to no effect; all those parts seem to be working. I swapped out ram, and checked that everything is properly connected inside, which it is. The psu and processor appear to be working, or at least they're humming along and their fans are spinning. The hdd also seems to be spooling up, although nothing is actually being sent to the screen. So I guess my question is, does that mean my mobo is a goner? It isn't giving me any beeps or anything to indicate a problem, but maybe that's further evidence of it not working correctly?
Is there something else I might have missed? Would really appreciate any input on the matter. I'm pretty sure I'm still under warranty from MSI, but its hard for me to get them on the phone with my work schedule and the time difference, plus I'm kind of hoping to not have to fully rebuild.
Thanks,
-Aaron

No POST beeps at all is most likely a faulty mobo. If it was any other vital component (except a faulty monitor which you've already eliminated) you would normally get a series of beeps.

Since you tried a different video card, either motherboard or power supply.
