More Video Problems.

I have already posted here in reguard to my carputer not being able to give decent video to my headunit. Well that problem was solved, with a new video card, it worked great! Quality was awesome and everything. Well, today, I rigged up a switch to have a switch mounted on the inside of the car instead of having to go to the back every time I wanted to turn it on. Well, some how, it stoped outputting video. When the computer turns on, the fans turn, hard drive spins, cd rom drive initializes and the little power button shines green, as if it was booting up. Well, it doesnt output anything, i see no video what so ever, not even static. This happens weather the new video card is in, or if I am simply using the onboard.

Specs:

Pentium III 866 Processor,
40gig HD
Wireless lan PCI card
Geforce 128 MB ram video card.
and 512 ram.

I guess this is really a general computer problem, but you never know.

I am completely stumped, I have been building computers for a decade, and have never seen something like this, atleast the cmos loading screen would pop up.

Suggestions? Ideas? Thanks!

As a last resort I'd try a blind flash of the bios... fixed a similar issue i had on a home pc many moons ago... but homefully it won't come to that.

I'd try to get the PC to post first on a test bench - not in car.
