Ok firstly, let me tell you how this story started, My internet connection was very poor and I went to the back of my PC to fondle around with the antenna. Come to find out that, the internet card came loose because there wasn't a screw back there for it. Push comes to shove, my speaker fell down off of the desk ledge and hit a few wires in the back and my monitor's signal went out. It didn't fall particularly hard or anything, all I know is my signal went out. I tried everything to get the signal back again like unplugging the graphics card (560 ti) and putting it back in (and this worked briefly, I got a signal but I restarted the computer and it was gone again).
Anyway my father and I have two 'gamer' computers, even though the other one is considerably weaker than mine. Let's call mine Computer A, and the weaker one Computer B. We tried to determine if it was my graphics card that got fried or it has something to do with my Mobo. I took the 8800GT out of Computer B and slipped it inside Computer A. Everything came on normally, so we were thinking it was the graphics card...however, we took my 560TI and slipped it inside Computer B, and it works perfectly with Computer B's Mobo. This has caused us heavy confusion. The graphics card is in Computer B right now as I type this, drivers are all up to date, and the temps are nice and cool. Now we think there has to be a problem with Computer A's mobo, but since the 8800GT worked smoothly on it, we don't know.
All we know is Computer A's mobo is not accepting my 560 Ti, but it is accepting my 8800GT. And Computer B accepts both cards without any trouble.
Any ideas?
