I know this may be wrong topic, but please help
Thank You for reading this in advance.
My friend HAs A PC with a AMD Atholon 2600 processor. On Friday there was no Graphics on screen on boot up. We tried everything but see nothing. Every else works, the DVD-RW, CD-RW, Hear the Hard drive and fans work. But no graphics.
My mate said to change the motherboard which we did to an MSI NForce2 motherboard. But to no avail, still same thing, no MS-DOs or Bios or any graphics ( we tried multiple monitors and cables), then we bought a new processor the AMD 3200 XP one and new DDR 512MB ram. BUt still, no graphics, eveything was clearly booting up, the lED's were lighting up, the fans work and you can hear the hard-drive.
Then we bought a new 128MB ATI Radeon graphics card with a VGA port. We tried it on a VGA cable/montior, but same thing. No graphics. Then we tried spare hard-drives, but same problem.
BUt we have not tried one thing well sort of. We tried an older power supply unit, but same thing, no graphics but it was struggling, my mate thinks we should buy a new Power supply cos that may be the cause.
( by the way, the motherboard has no VGA port, its got a MALE port, thats why we bought a new card with a VGA female port cos the monitor has a male connection - when we were testing it before the new graphics card, we were using a GEforce 2 64MB card, but that should not make a difference cos motherboards automatilcally detect whether the AGP slot is being used or not - SO WHY CANT WE SEE ANYTHIN)
What do you think?
