Please log in for more thread options Hi I'm helping a friend get his PC working. His PC is has an ASUS P5RD1-V Deluxe which has an on board ATI Radeon X300GPU. The PC powers up but there is no display at all. Ive tried taking out the RAM chips and reseating them - just trying one on its own but still no display. The board also has SVHS/component/composite outputs and I got nothing out of these either. I then fitted a PCI graphics card and got no display on that either. I took out the hard drive to recover files from it and found that some files had been written to the last date/time I powered up his PC. So something in there must be working OK. I just wondered if the CPU has failed in some way would it still power up? and exhibit this fault? I dont have another LGA775 board handy to try out the CPU. I suspect its most likely a problem with the system board. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks for your time. Ian | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Fascinating! Hacking stuff like this is kinda sorta a hobby of mine. Now if I only could figure out how to add my Sirius Sportster to the mix ;/ | ||||||||||||||||
