While that was happening I had just started loading a game called League of Legends, had my web browser up, and had a microphone program called Ventrilo all running in the background. Monitor went black and into standby, computer's main light went from blue to orange. When I tried to click on my mouse/press keys on my keyboard it came out of sleep but still no signal from the monitor, I then restarted the computer from it's main switch and still no change. I could hear through my headphones that the computer had booted and made it to the log in screen, but still no monitor signal. The graphics card I'm using in my PCI-E slot at the moment is a Galaxy 450 GTS, been working fine for over 4 months until now (Uses a DVI Cable). At this point I decided to install a PCI-E card that uses VGA instead of DVI to see if my chord was buggy knowing that the card is in fully working condition just less powerful, still no change. I plugged my monitor into another computer and it works just fine, VGA and DVI. I reset cmos, reset the motherboard battery, tried system restore, tested my ram and took each stick out one by one booting each time individually, reseating the graphics card, making sure all my power connections are in tack, still no change. Onboard graphics card is working, but won't recognize that there's any card in my PCI-E slot all of a sudden (Even though the fan on the card's running). I've read through different forums of people that have a similar problem but none seem to be exactly the same. I've searched through my BIOS (Very limited options to say the least) and cannot find anywhere to disable my onboard graphics card and make PCI-E primary. I've tried to uninstall my video drivers and reinstall, but because it doesn't find the GTS 450, it wont let me apply the drivers. The other day it made 7 beeps during post, meaning it was a video ram issue, but not that has stopped after putting my BIOS settings to default. The only solution that I can think of off the top of my head is to reformat but I need to buy a new OS CD sense I've lost my original copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 34bit, so if anyone could through some help out saving me time and money on something that's not surely needed, it would be greatly appreciated! If you need any screenshots to help figure out the problem, I'll certainly take them. -Envious Walrus
