hi, I transfered my pc to another room; I changed no hardware; nothing changed except for the room it's in.

When I started my pc, the monitor was just blank. (wtf! It was perfectly fine a while ago!) I heard no bleeps or anything.

That monitor was pretty old so I tried my other monitor, which is a bit newer. --- Same problem.

I checked if the cables to the monitor were connected correctly and firmly and they were.

I also tried all the electric outlets in the new room but to no avail.

Take the Grahpics cards completly out, and try seat it.

I'm betting you knocked something during transit, but you probably guessed that already.
