I was playing mass effect and my pc crashed. My monitor went blank like it was not getting anything from my video card. I am pretty sure it is a hardware issue. I powered off my comp and when I tried to turn it on again, it would "power on", fans spinning, lights but no monitor activity. After 5 seconds or so it would power off and then attempt to power on again. This goes on until I flip the PS switch. It acts like it does if I had attempted to overclock and it fails. It tries to boot 3 times then reverts to default values. But in this case it never boots.
I am thinking a video card issue. How can I be sure? What else could it be? I don't exactly have spare parts laying around so I can't just start swapping out components.
I don't think comp specs are that relavent. Comp was hand built with great, quality parts and ran fine for a year or so. Please help
