Hi guys, need some help again please.. Recently we had a power cut and obvioulsy my computer switched off, when I boot up the monitor shows the usual screens, and then after the loading windows screen, the monitor just switches off to standby and says "no input", however I can still hear windows loading in the background and when I switch the computer off I can hear windows logging off, so windows is working but it sounds like the monitor isn't being recognised.

So now I'm using the normal computer socket using the inbuilt GPU, any ideas on how I can sort this or would it be worth getting rid of all the present graphics drivers so the computer thinks I'm installing the GPU as if from new?

By the way, what is the best way to remove GPU drivers?
Many, many thanks, Jamflanuk

I'm not sure what's wrong with the 7600GT, but to clean out the drivers, uninstall the Nvidia drivers, then run Driver Cleaner Pro:

This has just started happening to me. I don't think windows updated and I have used two different restore points to no avail. I am running a 8800GT. Everything works fine until after the windows loading screen and then the no signal input comes up on the monitor and it cuts out. My PC is still running and I can still log into windows even though I can't see anything. I'm using XP and switched my PC off normally last night so I doubt my GPU randomly fried. And it runs fine in safe mode. A virus scan has revealed nothing. Going to roll back my GPU drivers now.
