Re: Monitor problems...
Unplug all the connections. Try wiggling the wires. Try Dad's monitor... otherwise, I dunno what to suggest.
You need to ascertain whether it's a problem in the tower or in the monitor. To do that you need to try a different monitor on your tower or a different tower on your monitor (obviously).
The LED indicates the monitor's getting power... so it is working it's just not getting a signal... you've tried the connections already...
Other than that I'd suggest an ATX Discharge- turn the PC off, hold the power button in for ten seconds, and then turn it back on. We had the same problem with some of the PCs at work (no image) and that seemed to work...

Re: Monitor problems...
Tried plugging another monitor in - found an old(er) one downstairs - nothing.
Nemmy called me, told me it has to be the monitor or the graphics card - judging by this, it must be the graphics card.
It was working fine yesterday though 
ATi Radeon 9200SE

Re: Monitor problems...
If you have moved the PC recently then open the case and push the card into it's slot as it may have come out.

Re: Monitor problems...
Haven't moved it, but I tried that anyway. It's in it's slot fine, not even loose

Re: Monitor problems...
Try remove/reseating it if you haven't- although I suspect it's fubar. Did the ATX discharge do anything?
At least you can eliminate the monitor.

Re: Monitor problems...
Narrowed it down to the graphics card or the processor. Just realised I have onboard graphics, so I'm using that now. I've taken the graphics card out and am currently using the onboard graphics ( Nvidia GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU).
Don't know how this will handle at the LAN party, or on MoH or CoD...
If it isn't good enough for the LAN party, I'll have to borrow one, tis too close to buy a new one in time...
Thanks for all the help guys.
