Hi all i'd realy like some help with trying to identify wether my motherboard is gone or not.
I tried to installed a tv card today but when i turned my pc on, the pc started but there's nothing displayed on the screen. So i removed the tv card and restarted my pc but still nothing on the screen.Next i removed the graphics card and tryed it in my mates pc (he has the identical model to mine) but first it didn't work and then it did.So i don't think it's the graphics card.
Anyway i removed everything except the hard drive,graphics card and 128 of ram but my pc still won't display anything on the screen, the monitor self test is displayed continuosly as if it's not receiving nothing from my pc. I'm assuming my motherboard is bust since i can't think of anyother reason why nothing is being sent to my monitor and there's no bios fault beeps or anything on startup.
Is there a definate way of finding out if your motherboard is gone or not before i go and spend £££ on another please?
AMD 1Ghz
512 ram
Nvidea tnt graphics card
60gb hard drive
Micro-star 6330 v2.1 motherboard
American Megatrends bios 0AAVWP02 08/21/2000
creative sound blaster card
Any ideas please?????
Thanks.
