I now relize that I didn't give enough information, sorry about that and here are some valueable info on the case Wink

The computer goes on (fans,hdds, cds chassibuttons etc).

Things I have tried :
* Reseting cmos
* Trying to hear the windows logon sound

Things I'm going to try out :
* Unplugging drives,disks,fans ye everything that's not requierd to view bios.

* Resetting gpu (if someone tells me how to)

Also two more thing.

Do you need the battery to run the post?

You know the power button on the chassi? When windows is loaded you have to hold it down for imediate shutdown while in post you'll just have to press it. After wating some time I have to hold it down so I belive it begins loading windows. So my gues is that the gpu is bad. Can a gpu just go bad when it wants so?

Yes the computer does have a small battery, but I'm sure they are super long lasting, lasting like 10 years atleast... And you can change the battery for a couple of dollars... Maybe your battery was soldered onto the motherboard, so he was going o make you pay for an expensive motherboard...

ONTOPIC: Does the computer itself turn on, but the monitor just displays nothing? Or does the computer not turn on?

If it doesn't turn on, then check if the power cable is connected to that power point correctly, and if it is connected to the Power Supply correctly. If that didn't work then open up your case and check for any loose/removed cables that may have slipped off...

If the PC does turn on, check if the cable connecting between the monitor and video card are both screwed securely into place... If they are then as saf stated above, reseat the video card, and screw it into the case a bit tighter... If all these didn't work, post back....

thanks!! it worked. I wonder tho how it could pop out when it was screwed hard Very Happy

And while im here can I ask some questions?

Do you have a tip for me on binding the cords?

Do you know a quiet cpu (775) cooler that isnt named "ultra quiet" and sounds like a jet plane? (I recently bought alot of noctus coolers and you cant hear them that's what im after)

If by binding cables you mean organize cables so they are stuck toegther then use Cable/Zip Ties...

tbh just get a headset and after awhile you will get use to the noise

The cooler temperature rise your parts the longer they live. (Half the time not like -30 k or w.e just like nice 29 to 40C temps).

Here is the heatsink I use, it is quite and also comes with some generic thermal grease.
