My system no longer displays any video. Is this motherboard toast? To get the computer to boot from a DVD drive, I had to hit the reset button a few times during the boot sequences to Fedora F8. Suddenly the video went blank. I powered down and re-powered, but no luck. I removed the power cord for several hours, still no luck. The only thing I see and hear is the HDD light flicker and the heads move for a very short time; then nothing. The reset button appears not to work any longer. When I remove the video connector, the monitor displays the no signal screen. I tried getting to the BIOS setup screen, but the screen remains blank. I hear no beeps. The computer is about 10 years old. The processor is an AMD Duron. The BIOS chip is dated as 1999. I see no brand name on the MB. The board has 2 PCI slots and one older slot. There are two banks for memory. I'm stumped as to what the problem might be.
Hi, your system isn't posting. could various problem's but to start off with try reset cmos. if no luck it's either motherboard, CPU, ram, graphics card or power supply unit.
The CMOS reset fixed the problem. I am back up and running. To think I almost scrapped this computer. Thanks very much.
