Ok, saturday midday I came back from a lan. went straight to sleep, in the evening I set up my PC to watch a movie, as my parents occupied the T. after several minutes spent on either my stomach or in bend position, I am ready to boot my baby. So I obviously do.... 3 minutes later I am beginning to wonder, why my screen stays blank. Well, I checked my monitor, cables everything set up. No settings changed, so the last possibility is the Graphics card. If anyone knows better tell, hadn't chance to find a gfx card to test it with. So now I am in desperate need for a new graphics card, but I alspo want to buy a new processor simultaneosly. My mainboard now is about 1.5 years old, socket 939 Asus AN8-sli. maybe abit not sure xDDD I want to spend between 300-400 euros for both, this should be enough. About 200-200. Dual-core maybe? Any one know something good?
what happens when you press the on button? Does it beep? double beep? not do anything? etc. You could always go into a local computer shop and say, hey for a few $$ can you chuck in a gfx card to see if mines broken.
it boots normaly, thats the ptoblem. everything, even the gfx card starts, just the screen stays blank, but I know of people who had similiar problems, so I am positive its the gfx card.
If it were a memory issue, I'd assume it would give beep error codes while POSTing. I doubt it is a CPU problem... I'd expect it not to even boot. I'm guessing two possibilities, the motherboard or gfx card. I dunno, hard to tell with out getting a test graphics card.
well if its the card than your comp would be beaping, but it could be your monitor? did you try a different monitor or somthing
read the first post first before answering, for a reason its called first post. well, actually not, but you should know what I mean...
all motherboards i have ever seen have beeping setups. For ram issues a repeated beep happens. I reckon though that it is your motherboard or graphics card.
Yes, but not every motherboard has an on-board speaker, so you can't always hear the beeps, if there's no speaker connected. This thing: But mostly it's mounted on the mobo itself.
