Im not near the computer. My sousin in law who is an expert at computers, he use to build them and worked at global, after testing, sed its probably the motherboard, cuz he sed somethin like " theres no beeps, so that my be a problem with the bios in the motherboard" and the video card worked with the good computer, and all the drives worked, so im guessin the power and video are ok, its just the motherboard, plus i got the motherboard for 17 bucks in the back of tiger direct, onea the untested ones, |

Is it a new motherboard with a 1.5v AGP slot? Are you certain you are not using a 3.3v AGP card in a 1.5v AGP slot? I recently had a motherboard with a 1.5v AGP slot that was not keyed so you could fit a 3.3V AGP card in.....it didn't hurt the card or motherboard but symptoms were exctaly the same, no video, no beep, at first i thought the motherboard was bad. Then the thought occurred, that's probably a 1.5v AGP slot, sure enough, put in a PCI video and up she came, replaced the 3.3v AGP card with a newer 1.5v and up she came. |
