Sounds like a video card issue if your monitor is telling you theres no signal. did you unplug the HDD while the computer was on??

You might have bumped the video card or power conn. Try re-seating the card and power conn.

Yeah check the power connector on the video card and make sure it is seatted properly...it may have been misaligned. Also, if you can start in Safe Mode, perhaps try and reinstall the drivers. It might work after that.

you are saying that you can boot into safe mode but not to desktop? if this is the case then I am thinking it is a Vista problem because if your card wasn't seated properly or is having problems then I doubt that you would be able to boot into any mode( I am not toally sure of this but I have never heard of this happening because of a seating problem). when you press F8 at boot up is there still a last time stamp or boot into last known good, try that if that doesn't work try using ( in safe mode) system restore. maybe even use your vista disk to repair

When in safe mode just go into the device manager and delete the video card from the list and then boot back into windows.
