I'm starting to think it was the DVI connector..

Connect the monitor to the VGA port (the blue one) which is connected to the on board video. The DVI port is normally white in color. But remember if you connect it to the VGA port, it completely by passes the graphics card and you will not be able to play SSE.

Nope, It's something inside the computer. Same exact thing happens withe the VGA and DVI. The GPUs probably fried... :'(

I did some browsing on YouTube, and I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBeBR4lkkM8
What is happening in the video is similar to what my PC is doing.

No... But I can tell the sound of my GPU, and I'm not hearing it.

Did you already try to update your graphic card drivers?? Maybe there's something wrong with it.

From the sounds of it you've cooked either your GPU or more likely your motherboard. The best thing I can suggest is to take it to your PC geek, and let them look at it, they'll either give it a new lease of life or charge you several quaddrillion dollars to get it repaired :(

Danny, as I said, I'm taking it to a Computer Repair Service today.
@Gab: I did PM SF last night to tell him I'm taking it to a Computer Repair Service.

The thing is, if you temper with the specifics of it, that warranty will drop off.

I'm kinda curious to something. You can overclock your CPU succesfull but your GPU get's fried??  ???
So does that mean your only monitoring you CPU, and not your GPU. Or what?? :-\
I'm just curious  :D
