ok so earlier yesterday there was a power out at my house. when i came home all the CLOCKS were blinking. but yet because i had my power strip off my computer WORKED fine. so i was on it for a while. then i LEFT for some errands and came back to it. during that time the power strip was on. i had gotten light bulbs for a light that had blown out on the same power strip. now before i left for errands i put my computer in sleep mode. when i came back to put in the light bulb i turned off the power strip. now i cant get the video to go up but my computer works fine. ive tried RESEATING my video card and all but nothing works. input pleaseHave you tried another power strip ?
Some of them fail completely or partially when they TAKE a hit...
Are there any lights on the monitor ?yeah lights on the monitor are still on like the power indicator and four other lights for screen adjustment (which just blink)Does this machine have an external Modem ? ?
If so power down and un-install it and then re-boot and see what happens.
Also try the monitor on a working machine.
Borrow another vid card and swap it into your machine to determine if it's the vid card.
