Hi everyone :)

My first post on these boards, I hope I can explain this well.

I'm not a genius with PCs, but I know my way around, so don't worry about getting technical.




Ok here goes:

My wife's PC is working fine, windows xp loads up, POST is good, everything is fine with the computer in that sense.

My Problem is this. Her monitor just went blank all of a sudden. Basically, the monitor is on, and the buttons to adjust the size/contrast/brightness/etc is viewable on the screen when I push them... but it remains blank like the screen saver "Blank". From boot up, to windows and everything in between.

Anyone ever have this problem? I was told it might be the Video Card...

Asus P4S533 1.8 ghz
ATI 8500DV
 
I'd update the video drivers to the latest version and also the chipset drivers.
See if that helps... Also, what sort of PSU do you have?
