my 2 neices were over this week end while i was away and now my video doesn't work on my system.

ecs k7som(sis chipset)
duron 950

when i turn system on i have a big black border and in the middle alot of running colors.

things i tried---

resetting the cmos battery
installing a pci video card
hooking the monitor up to another system(and it worked)

what else can i do to try and revive my video?

(deep down i am really looking for a reason to get a new board so i won't be upset with that suggestion):D

never mind it is the monitor.

when i hooked it up to another system it worked and then when i moved the system and monitor to another location it didn't work.

so now i guess i will be looking for another monitor.

Degauss your monitor. It might fix it and save you alot of money.

have you checked the VGA connector to make sure the pins aren't bent?
