Solve : monitor/video card help!!? |
|
Answer» I have a problem (maybe with motherboard, or AGP slot???) getting the monitor to work. The monitor works on other computers, and other monitors DONT work on that computer. I thought maybe the graphics card/video card was bad, so I got a new one....still nothing. Its not my computer, but a friend told me of the problems, so i said Id look at it. He said he didn't think it was ever hit with a power surge during a storm that may have damaged the computer (it wasn't connected to a surge protector), but thought maybe somthing happened in the move from Virginia to kentucky... Its quite aggrevating because I don't see anything "out of place" inside the computer, but maybe its something I can't see. When I start the computer, I am not sure it is booting up all the way. The only noise I can really hear is the fan, but maybe thats because its been turned on and off at least 5 times (just while I've had it), and that created some SORT of problem with the start up (like maybe a message SAYING the system was not properly shut down last time, blah blah blah. Hit enter to continue,). I dont really hear any of the typicl whirring, wtc. that I normally associatre with a computer being turned on, but once again, that may be because of a staretup/shutdown error. Any help/suggestions/ideas will be appreciated!!!!! I am considering reinacting that scene from "Office space" where they are beating the *censored* out of those computers and fax machines... Any ideas??? Also, The monitor "self test" screen that pops up when the monitor has power, but isnt hooked to the video card doesnt show up, it's just a blank screen, but with power. When you unplug the monitor from the COMP., then the message shows up....curious..... and one more thing...I dont remember the tower beeping during startup...I seem to remember that is a BIOS test of some sort or another....I'm not saying it didnt BEEP...but I am saying a dont remember it beeping. All i remember is the whir of the fan _______________________________________ ______ Ventura FarmMAATE U need yo supply more Info on UR puter....ie: make model CPU etc..for these guys to help U...(Believe me they are good)...!!! ( suck) LOL..Actually, i figured it out all by my lonesome....Oddly enough, it was the internal modem. :-? Im not sure why, but then again I really dont care...everything works now... |
