Silver Strike Bowling shows NO SIGNAL on monitor

(1/3) > >>

stpcore:
I picked up another Silver Strike Bowling last night and when I powered it up this morning everything seemed fine.  It was left in attract mode for about 15 minutes without any issues.  When I started playing the game however on the second trackball roll the Nighthawk computer shut off.  The monitor stayed on and displayed (NO SIGNAL). 

I took the Nighthawk out and brought it inside and it would not power up.  I suspected a bad power supply and replaced it (from 250 watts to 300 watts).  When I tried to power it up again the green light turned on the mother board but the fans did not start to spin.  I took the mother board battery out and placed it back in to see if it would reset anything and then the Nighthawk powered up.  The problem is that even though everything seems to be powered properly I am still left with the NO SIGNAL on the monitor.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?  Could the video card have gone bad when the system shut down for some reason?  Any ideas would be appreciated!

***UPDATE***

I went in and disconnected the graphics card and hooked an LCD up to the on board VGA port and was able to get a screen.  After that I turned off the power and removed and reinserted the video card and hooked up the monitor to it and it seems to be working for now.  Wonder why this happened?

hi bud
a simple clean up is in order
about that easy
u should know the routine
lose connections/dirty socket's etc
and good move on replacing the power supply

Well, tried to turn it on again and getting NO SIGNAL.  So back to square one.  I'm wondering if it's the video card for some reason?
