In that case, best case scenario is the video card went bad and the possibilities get significantly worse from there.
I was on my computer it was working fine I went downstairs and had dinner with the computer still powered on. I came back up and there was nothing on the monitor I had some keys on the keyboard but it did not come back on so I forced it powered down and turn it back on, The computer lights up like it's turning on I hear noise inside but the monitor still says "does not recognize" unhooked the computer took it downstairs hooked up to another monitor that had a computer on it and still no luck. it powers up seems to be turned on but monitor does not recognize
