• VGA works fine but when using HDMI, nothing.

Today I bought another fan for my PC, I connected it and extremely foolishly put it on TOP of the graphics card without it being held by anything. It worked, until I moved it a bit and turned on my pc again I heard it colliding with something and clattering, so I, once again, extremely foolishly ripped out the power cable to the PSU in panic. When I boot it's fine, video outputs onto my second monitor, the one with VGA. But when windows starts, and the HDMI display enables, nothing comes up on either monitors, it's not like when you for example took the color black and displayed it, NOTHING is on the display at all. The HDMI monitor just says no signal while the VGA one shits itself. It all boots fine with just VGA, but with VGA+HDMI or even HDMI alone, nothing. Sound is still ok, you hear the sound of windows booting, and eventually the computer restarts itself. I've tried resitting it and reconnecting shit to the motherboard. I conclude that it's a PSU problem and it may have friend and it's supplying to little/too much power to the GPU on boot? Can anyone help?
What model graphics card do you have? Do you have another video card to test with? Have you tried a different monitor? We need to find the source of the problem. I doubt it's your psu.
460 Yes No, I shall do that right now. Also thanks a lot for replying. [editline]7th August 2011[/editline] I tried a different monitor, same result as the other monitor. Blackness.
I tried with my 9600gs, nothing.
So you've tried a new graphics card and a new monitor. Do you have another slot on the motherboard to place the video card? Can you try using a different powersource for your gpu? I mean in my psu there is several holes where you can plug in different parts. I have several holes for the gpu and i can switch between them. Try switching them. Is your HDMI cord damaged? Is the VGA port on your computer located on your motherboard?
I don't have another slot. I don't understand what you mean by different power source. My VGA is on the card, the cord is fine because I'm using it on my laptop right now.
