I have a Area 51 Desktop with a i7 930 ans 2 hd5870's it turns on but no video or no beeps any ideas? was working fine left it for the night went into sleep mode and then no video
Process of elimination, unplug, all cd-rom drives from the motherboard, ANY extra hard drives except for the one with your operating system, and any other add-in devices. Also remove your second video card. You should now only have ONE video card plugged in. Turn on, see what happens. If same thing again, turn off, replace the single video card with your other one. You should still ONLY have one video card plugged in. Turn on, see what happens.
The reason you are doing this is to eliminate the possibility of any other conflicts, and to verify that both cards are working.
Now, if you DO get video back, you can start plugging things back in, ONE-BY-ONE, turning on the PC after each thing is plugged back in, to verify that you are still getting video.
Hope that helps, let me know what happened..
