REALLY TERRIBLE NEWS! YAY![/b]
IF YOU ARE A HARDWARE N00B, SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH
So basically, my computer that I built nuked itself, and I have no idea WTF is wrong with it. It's being.. difficult.
So it's alway been a bit on the edgy side, (this is my first build) but recently, the computer turns on, but the monitor it's attached to doesn't get any signal through the VGA port. I tried a different monitor, and a different cord, but i got nada. So far I've put my RAM in different slots, put my graphics card in different slots, and sworn at it several times. If anyone knows why the bloody hell it's going on strike, advice would be greatly appreciated..

So basically, while I'm gone, don't think I'm GONE gone. In this kingdoms thing, I am now neutral until further notice, as i cannot play.

Tell me if you guys need my comps specs.

GPU could be burned/broken.
Give the specifications of you pc for better help.

Remember kids, always clean your computer with pressure air

lol, ok getting specs.

Here we go, got mah list.

ok,
MOBO: P8P67 REV 3.1
GRAPHICS: Powercolor Radeon 6850
CPU: Intel Core i5 processor (2500k sandy bridge 3.3 ghz.)
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 2x4 DDR3 1600 MHZ
PSU: Seasonic (Im pretty sure 520W)
CASE: FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE R3 COMPUTER CASE.

Installed stuff:
Logitech HD Webcam C310
Intellinet Wifi card. (idk which one, might have lost manual)
Logitech Wireless Keyboard+Mouse.

I built this computer recently (sometime around christmas vacation) and it's my first build. I think the mobo is ok, besides the fact I killed one of the USB3.0 pins. When I turn on the computer, everything looks normal inside, but more than 1/2 the time the Graphics cards fan is spinning on max, right on start. Then almost every time, the only way I can turn the comp off is to A) unplug it, or B) turn off PSU switch, which i know is probably bad for the comp, as it's a force restart. I looked inside, and it's not very dusty (but thanks for the advice, may come handy later VepaS.) Is there any way I can test my Graphics? Bloodhound recommended I reset the comp through bios, but I can't see bios, because i don't get signal to the monitor (which i should, right? even without the graphics?) Im hoping my mobo didn't die, but thats starting to seem what happened.

Hmm i did some research, but cant realy find anything for this kind of problem.
What i am thinking atm is that either your GPU or the PSU is broken.
You may need to test the GPU on a different pc and see if it works.

I did however find a link for bios reset: http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-Your-BIOS" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also: does the start up normal besides having a screen?

The statup looks normal. I get the little green light from the Mobo indicating that i shouldn't pull crap out cause the powers on, i get no RAM light, the CPU, GPU and case fan all turn on. I unfortunately don't have another PC to test it on, because my family was a mac family until I built my PC. I don't think it's my power supply, but it might be. My first computer problem was when with a large popping noise, the PSU kinda exploded xD. Im pretty sure this one is working though, (warranty for a new one).

Maybe one of your friends could help with a test

If it's nor the screen nor the cable and if I follow what you told me last time with your fan that is going straight to the top right when you start it then as I told you then it's probly that your GPU is not getting detected and that your computer was running on the integrated GPU since it can run well or it's the possibility that something went wrong in your mobo (if you're able to get into your bios then it's possibly not the mobo ) or your GPU wasn't a good one and you need to make it change but in either way I'm sorry that I can't help since I'm pretty sure i could find the problem but with text there's nothing much I can do by the situation you're in and with your lack of knowledge in hardware I'll have to recommend you to go to a shop that do custom build and ask them to check it or if you have a friend that is good with computer to show your tower to him ( save your money ).

Good luck !

Thanks for the help you guys. It's a pretty nice card (like 150$ one) so I'm pretty sure my mobo has some problems with it. I'll take it to a shop
