[mdlug] PC Doesn't boot after moving the box

[Raymond Ingles]

Ok, time to unseat everything. All cables. no disks, no USB, etc. (Leave
the CPU fan plugged into the motherboard, though.)

Then, plug in the just the power supply, mouse, keyboard, and monitor. See
if you can get it to boot that way.

f I had to guess based on the unfamilar markigns on the board I'd say MSI
880GM-E43.

Please note as I said in my last mail now even with both of them plugged in
I get no display on my monitor. I just plugged my monitor into my work
laptop to verify it is still working.
