Randomly not Getting Video on Start Up
Starting about 2-3 months ago, once every 2 weeks or so, I started getting a problem that when I powered up my computer, there was no video.
The weird part is that everything else, as far as I could tell was operating normally. It would give the audio for windows booting, and I could even login. After maybe 4-6 tries of turning it off and on, with varying amounts of messing with external wires, it would give video and everything would work normally.
I didn't try to fix it at the time since it barely ever happened so I thought troubleshooting a problem that only happens twice a month would be a nightmare. Then it happened twice in a row on Sunday and Monday.
I think it might be my power supply, but since it is a video problem I posted in the graphics card section.
I also think it could be my monitor cable, the monitor itself, or my graphics card.
I believe I can get a test monitor, and cable, but not sure if there's a spare graphics card or PSU I can get.
