Ok guys, here's the story. I have recently gotten a computer off my friend as he is relocating permanently.
Long story short, everything was working sweet until one fine day I was unable see any display on my monitor. I took some time to troubleshoot it and determine that it was the graphics card (ATX Radeon HD 4890). It was constantly resetting, with the 3 of the 4 LED lights flicked on for a brief period of time and then switched off (normal) but it began to repeat the process of being turned on and off again with no display on the monitor.
I removed it and put it back in, everything is working fine again. I then come home to find that the same problem happened, no display on the monitor.
I went about doing the same thing, removing the graphics card and re-inserting it. This time, nothing.
I have checked many of the components. I know that my monitor and DVI cable are definitely working. I also know that my PSU is fine because it was working for my friend for a long time and I was able to use this computer before and nothing's changed. I have also checked the PCI-E cables and other possible loose wires but there's nothing wrong with all the other stuff.
Help please?
