Alright, so my new computer is [censored]. I hauled it home today, since I was coming home for thanksgiving. I set up my computer, start it up, and it did it's usual (one of the fans makes a loud screeching noice). So I did my usual, I opened the case and gave it a tap. That fixed the noise, as it usually does. However, now the monitor is frozen. Alright no problem, restart the computer. Not alright. The monitor now displays absolutely nothing. Switch to another monitor. Nothing. Switch video cards, still nothing with either monitor. Computer will still turn on, turn off, but of course that's all I know, since I can't see a damn thing without the monitor!
Any suggestions as to what the problem could be, or what I can do about it? If need be I can take it to where I purchased it, and hopefully the warranty will cover it, but the place I purchased it from is an hour and a half away, and I NEED the computer for university by Tuesday. I'm hoping someone will be able to help me here.
Unfortunately, I have a bad feeling about what the problem is. I hope it's not, but there could have been a static discharge when I tapped the fan (which, by the way, sits on the motherboard) which fried a portion of the motherboard. I hope that's not the case, but it might be...
