So I moved my computer about a foot (while it was off) cause I was going to hook up an older IDE hdd to scrape some data. My brother said he'd do it, so I hooked everything back up and now I get no display on the screen.

I tried removing most usb devices + changing ports, removing most peripherals, removing all but one memory stick, swapping and reseating them, reseating the GPU, and even hooked up a spare PSU instead of the regular one and a spare monitor, so I can rule those out.

So.... I'm down to either my 8800GT or my motherboard, which I've voided my warranty on (DFI has a warranty void sticker on the northbridge heatsink). My loop hasn't leaked either, I checked all around.

I've also reset CMOS with jumper, and my mobo doesn't have beep codes for errors.

Any thoughts on how to pinpoint this? I don't have onboard graphics and I'm home for the holidays with no spare PCIe or PCI video cards.
