Computer Malfunction

Quid

So I recently bought this computer and have had no real troubles outside of a loose hard drive cable. However, it's recently stopped communicating altogether with my monitor or powering the keyboard. After it comes on the keyboard lights flash like they always do then nothing. I've opened it up and can't find anything else that's loose but was curious if there's something more I should check for.

So, does anything at all display on the screen when you power it on and do you hear any beeps?

Quid

Nothing comes on the screen. It's actually a small TV so when nothing comes up I get a blue screen with NO SIGNAL across it. No beeps either. The mouse seems to get power but it's not plugged in through the USB.

Well, if you know how to I would suggest re-seating the RAM and graphics card and then give it a shot. If you've never installed those components before then I would suggest not touching it and contacting that companies support department and see what they suggest.

I'll give it a try. Just trying here since I won't be able to talk to tech support until tomorrow.

Is the keyboard USB ? I put together a PC once that had a mobo/bios that just didn't like USB devices. So maybe there's a chance that for whatever reason it's choosing to ignore both your video card (PCI perhaps?) and the usb keyboard.

The keyboard is USB and video card PCI.
