The computer in question worked last week. It's brand new, never been connected to the internet, up-to-date parts, etc.

Last week, I installed some 3D software on it, then shut it down and waited for the license files that arrived this week. I've done this to 4 other PCs with the same hardware and software.

I've tried:

  • Hooking it up to 3 different monitors
  • using different video cables
  • 2 other graphics cards

and a handful of other things like switching which port it's plugged into before and after a restart. I have the driver disc, and a windows reinstallation disc, but they won't do me any good because no display at all for any interval of time.

All the fans are moving: psu, gfx, cpu etc, so I don't believe it's a power issue. Here are the specs I know of:

  • 4GB RAM
  • 8800 GTX
  • 700w PSU
  • Intel dual core (not sure of model)

Anyways, I'm open to ideas.
