Question

Both VGA and DVI Suddenly stopped working

Mar 18, 2017 2:19AM PDT

Hi guys,

I opened my computer to check which RAM I have so i can buy another one. Cleaned it up a little from dust and put it back on.

Now both my screens won't work. One is connected by vga and the other by dvi.
The thing is, my computer runs, i just can't see anything.

Also, the screen reacts when i connect & disconnect from the pc. When disconnected it says no signal and when connected it's just black and again not detecting any signal.
Tried restarting everything, including the screens.

Inside the box everything seems intact (as far as i could tell).

Any ideas?

Tried only to connected VGA and disconnected the DVI.

Before you open your computer, it can runs well? So I think you need to open it again to check if there are something loose.

Onboard video or a card?

If it's a card, it may have jumped some out of the slot, be at an angle.
