Your monitor should not get shot that easily. Make shure its nicely fitted and your video card didnt pop out of the slot. check everything then try it again. I doubt your monitor is shot..,,, gl,

Have you tried clearing the CMOS?

cmos?
what is that and how would that help is mobo is dead

You are a computer nerd aren't you... There is a silver "button" battery on the motherboard. Remove this battery and unplug the computer from the wall outlet. Wait a few minutes and put the battery back in and turn on the computer. If you can't do this yourself, get a friend that knows computers to do it for you...

If you still have no video, it is time to take it to a repair shop

What's this thread doing here?

Moderators combine threads please??
I'm better off not replying to anymore from from computernerd17, until all threads are joined (seeming they're the same!)
