Solve : Stumped After Motherboard Install? |
|
Answer» I just replaced the motherboard in my e-machines T3828 desktop with a known good 845GV IBM BOARD, IBM 02R4637, with P4 chipset. Now as soon as I plug in the cord to the PWR Supply the computer starts running, but no display is shown on the monitor. I figured I would have to adjust BIOS settings and use a recovery XP disk, but I can't even getting ANYTHING to appear on screen. I don't know why the computer automatically starts running as soon as it is plugged in either. Any Info would be greatly appreciated!
