 Major computer problem... Hi Guys, Having major probs with my computer. Not been working for a while now. Computer turns on (fans sound etc), but monitor displays 'no signal'. So far have tried: - Disconnecting everything non-essential inside - New power supply - New RAM - Tried several different screens + cables Problem also is that garphics are on the motherboard. Does this make trying a new graphics card (if thats what u guys suggest) difficult? Thanks, Dave |

| Major computer problem... Nah. If the graphics chip went bad you could plunk a cheap old PCI card into there to get it working again. However, usually if that's the problem the whole motherboard is dead. My suggestion is to go buy a crappy old PCI graphics card off eBay or something, plunk it in and see if it works. If it has, you've saved yourself from having to buy another motherboard - if not, you're out of luck on that front.

| Major computer problem... Sometimes there will be an AGP slot on the mobo too.
