What’s wrong with my computer?

This morning I was using my computer and it was working perfectly. After wards, I turned off my computer and left my house to go out somewhere. 5 hours later, I come home and went straight to my computer, turning it on. However, to my surprise, the monitor won’t turn on. I rebooted about 50 times as well as unplugged and replugged everything.
For the next 2 hours, I was experimenting by changing the monitor I had and a friend of mines came by and it turns out that both of them don’t work. I tried out my monitor on my friend’s computer and it worked, thus giving me the conclusion that it’s my computer’s fault…
Not my question is this: What caused my computer to act this way and is there a way to fix it?

I was looking inside my computer for a solution and I found that my RAM card was just sitting there, if that ever helps you.

Very weird problem with my computer or my monitor?

PS Gamer Pro asked:


My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Build 7100
My video card is an XFX geforce 8500gt 512mb
My monitor is an ASUS 1080p monitor

My problem is, my computer monitor randomly goes black and doesn’t show any light or sound and in a couple of seconds (3-10), its back to normal and i found no pattern of when it will happen, this only started happening late night (10:30-11pm) november 13th
Is this my monitor’s fault, is it my computer’s fault, is it both? and how do I fix it?
my monitor is an ASUS VH222H
