Hello everyone, I think some of you are pretty good with computers. My brother's computer is acting up. It powers up, but there seems to be no signal going to the monitor. When we unplug the monitor, it brings up the 'no source detected' message, or something to that effect, so I believe the monitor is good. Everything seems to power up, so my next guess would be the graphics card? I believe it's a 6600gt. There is no VGA socket on the motherboard, so I am assuming there are no onboard graphics on this board, but I could be wrong.

Problem is, I don't have any extra AGP graphics cards laying around (can't find my box of extra stuff). I'm not very good at diagnosing these problems, so I look to you guys for some advice. I'd rather not have to take it to someone, but what else should I do?
