I have a HP Pavilion XT983 with a AMD processor. Recently the video STOP working(black screen on monitor), I try a new monitor and it still will not work and I hooked another computer to the HP monitor and the computer work so I KNOW I narrowed it down to the video card or the motherboard. So I bought a PCI video card from Wal-Mart put it in the HP computer and hook the monitor up the PCI video card and still no video just a black screen. So next I thought it could be the motherboard so I bought a new motherboard off of ebay the buyer said it worked so I put the AMD processor out of my old computer into the motherboard I bought off of ebay and hook everything back up, still no video. The motherboard I bought off of ebay had a AGP slot so next I bought a AGP video card off ebay , put the AGP card in the motherboard I bought off of ebay and still no video. I don’t know what else to do, so I am open for suggestion I really want to get this computer working so if ANYONE can help me please write me back.My experiences on ebay....well.....paid for  a pc system did not turn up....buyer said its on its way<4years old still waiting i dont think> distant selling unless i trust the shop>>> i would RATHER go to a shop  and grab it of the shelf......enough....talk??
