I just got done moving my computer and desk to a different part of my room, and now when I turn on the moniter it would have the green light, and then go to the yellow "idle" light and every once in a while a message would pop up that said something like "Check Video Connection" or something like that. I checked all of the connections and everything was plugged in correctly. I tried a different moniter and the same thing happens. I also took out and put back in my video card just in case that has anything to do with it.  Does anybody know what the problem might be and how I might go about fixing it? Thanks.

Thats what I was thinking. But do you also think that the plug-in in the back of the PC could have came loose somehow also?

I figured out why and now I feel dumb since it was so simple lol. Before I used to plug my moniter into the "Moniter" slot below the keyboard and mouse and it always worked until now. But nowI plugged my moniter into the videocard out-put and now it works.
