So completely randomly while surfing the net, scary neon symbols covered my screen, and my sound turned to static. Shortly thereafter my computer decided to restart on its own. My computer ran fine for the rest of the night, and I turned it off when I went to bed. For the next three or four startups/boots, nothing would display until the Windows login screen (eg the mobo info, bios messages, etc). Today, my computer thought it would be cool to take it a step further, and stop displaying video and audio entirely. My monitor reads "No signal," and the Windows tunes don't play when they should.
I went and took the liberty of ripping open my computer and dusting and replugging in everything, and that didn't fix it. Not a big surprise there.
I highly doubt it's a monitor issue, since to my knowledge monitors typically don't cause your computer to crash. I've only had this motherboard for less than six months, but I do have my old refurbished (previously broken, what luck) mobo that I can replace to see if it fixes the issue (which I would rather leave as a last resort).
Here's my specs if it helps:
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo
CPU: Intel Q6600 Quad
GPU: EVGA GeForce 8800GTX
PSU: Corsair 700W modular
RAM: Corsair DDR2 4GB
