Solve : Video card or MB?? |
|
Answer» My screen stays black with a no signal on the screen when I try to boot up. I am running a PCI E motherboard. Thinking it may be the video card I opened my comp and removed the video card and tried installing into the other slot for the video card. It still stays black. I tried another card with the same results. The odds of both PCI slots going bad wt the same time are high ...but not impossible.No, I didn't try the card in another computer, just the 2 slots in mine. I did try another card though. It doesn't work either.... Quote from: squall_01 on March 13, 2008, 03:49:15 PM Try taking out the ram and seeing if there isnt a beep. This should help tell you if the board is bad. Did you try the Video card in another machine?If they're both eBay cards they could both be duds... Try them in another machine to see...Um.... Just throwing this out there but..... did you try another monitor? Quote from: Betaa on March 20, 2008, 01:31:54 AM Um.... Just throwing this out there but..... did you try another monitor? Look Up Quote from: Flip81 on March 13, 2008, 05:22:11 PM Does it have onboard video? Have taken out the cmos battery? Have you tried more than one monitor?? but no response.one question all of us havent asked, Do you have the drivers for the video card? that could explain alot since you got it off of E-bay.Bad video cards can kill motherboards. I have seen it happen. Sometimes more than one. First the card kills one motherboard, then, not realising what has happened, it is placed in another PC to "confirm"... jester you just fell to a scam. thats why you NEVER buy electronics off of E-baywindows has generic driver to run a graphics card until you get the actual driver. ebay is not as bad as you guys make it sound. macdad thats your opinion not to buy electronics off ebay.
