Ok, this is kinda hard to explain.  One day, my PC was working fine.  The
next day I turned it on and all that came up on the monitor was a message
saying that the monitor was working fine and that I should check the cables
or the video card.  Note: The machine was getting power, it was going
through all the motions as if it was working properly. i.e- ran through
POST, hard drive grinding away etc.
So I take a video card out of a machine that works fine and put it in.
Still the same problem.  I tried several different things and so as a last
resort I strip the computer of everything and rebuild it from the ground up.
  First thing I did was plug in my hard drive and video card, turn the power
on and BAM! it works.  The machine boots, no problem.  So I plug all my
other devices in and turn it on, again it works.  I leave it running for a
few days and use it on a regular basis.  Then I turn it off wile I was out
of town, I come back a few days later and turn it on - it doesn't work, just
the message from the monitor.  So I strip it down, rebuild it, and it
works...  This will get to be QUITE a hassle if I have to rebuild it
everytime I want to use it! =)  The ONLY thing that I haven't tried yet was
to replace the power supply.  Does anyone have any ideas what could be
causing this problem?  Thanks in advance.
