Today I went over to my computer and the screen was totally frozen on what I had been doing last. I was running eDonkey/eMule/Overnet and downloading some stuff, but the mouse would not respond at all and everything was frozen. I tried crtl/alt/delete but could not even get the Task Manager up. I rebooted my computer but now my monitor shows nothing. All it has now is the little "test" screen that bounces around the screen like its not attached to anything. I tried rebooting the system with some Win 2000 boot discs but still nothing on the monitor. I hooked up my laptop to the monitor and the monitor works fine so I am thinking it might be the video card, hard drive or worse - the motherboard.
I am running Win 2000 and the hard drive is only probably about 12 months old. I have no clue where to start testing or what to try. Any suggestions would be appreciated and any other info that you need - let me know and I will glady provide. Thanks for your time in reading this.
