I was using my computer as normal, windows applications then stopped responding (explorer, start menu). Skype, Mozilla etc were working as normal, but I decided to restart the computer. Although the system components seemed to start up fine, the monitor wasn't showing any output.
Opened up the computer to check if anything is off during start up; GPU lights turn on and its fan spin, CPU fan spins. I tried using different pcie slots for the GPU, tried a different GPU altogether. I do have an external motherboard mic, not sure if it works, I've taken out all the ram and the mic doesn't make any error beeps. Tried ram in different orientations. Held the power button to discharge any capacitances. Shorted the CMOS thing (I think, foil conducts right?) Still no output on the monitor.
I'm thinking it might be the motherboard, but I don't have another one to test.
Any other ideas?
