| If I understand your problem, the computer stopped booting after you installed this new graphics card. Did you switch back back to your previous card? If so, did the 'puter boot? ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, ATi Radeon 8500; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS2, Nikon D2Hs and D100 |

| This helps. If it were a memory problem, there would be a memory error that you'd see on start up. On first blush, my vote would be towards the power supply, and then possibily the mobo. You might want to take the 'puter to a local CompUSA or reputable shop to have them check it out. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 1800 - P4 1.8gz, 512mb RAM, ATi Radeon 8500; SB Live Value; Windows XP Professional, Photoshop CS2, Nikon D2Hs and D100 |

| There are a number of reasons your PC might not boot (Viruses, Missing/Corrupt Files, Bad Sectors/Damaged Hard Drive etc) but what I would do 1st of all is check if your PC will boot from a Bootable CD (the PC does not boot from Hard Drive - just from the CD! and you can run programs from the CD to change p@sswords, scan for viruses, check and fix the hard drive, recover files etc). You may then be able to fix the problem or at least determine if it is a hardware or software fault (if it boots from CD it must be Windows or the Hard Drive that is corrupt, if it wont boot from a bootable CD its probably another hardware fault. i.e. Motherboard / Memory) You can get a Bootable PC Repair CD or a Bootable Bart Disk at www.discmaster.info click here: http://www.discmaster.info/UK/tools.htm Hope this helps! |

| [QUOTE]Originally Posted by nonz3r0: Hola.. Pc wont boot, motherboard led comes on, keyboard lights flash, fan starts, can hear HDs start spinning, but nothing on screen, not even BIOS, nothing. Buddy of mine lent me graphics card that he swears works right, which I put in temp to check whether mine was to blame maybe; not that either, still nothing on screen. By the way, I did hook up my monitor to my laptop and it came right up, so it's not the monitor either. I even checked voltage with a multimeter coming from the power source (400W), and the yellow is consistently at 11.88V (somewhat below the supposed 12V) and the red is at 5.21V (somewhat above 5V). These values hold even if I disco the HDs and the CD drive before I boot. I measured the 20 pin motherboard power-connector values also and they are all within .4V of their specifications. I don't think this is a power issue. I also visually inspected the CPU (did NOT pull it out), seems ok, no reason to believe any pins broken, never touched it since install, no major trauma or kicking occured; I only do that to my cat when something dont work (just kidding [emote|:)] ). So I @ssume it's gotta be the motherboard, though I cannot imagine what could've gone wrong. It's and ASUS peice: P4T533-C. Took all 4 memory sticks out, without which motherboard dont work, I know this from when I put it together, and put them back, making sure all is clean and secure. Any ide@ssuggestions on what to do next would be greatly appreciated!!! I REALLY dont wanna take the board out, takes too long.. [/QUOTE] hello i had accidently disabled my intergrated graphics and now i cannot boot up my laptop all i get is a couple beeping noises then nothing just a blank screen and dead hard drive can anyone help? email me at kelticwolfpup14@aol.com please thanks |
