Black Screen when Computer Boots
- by BlueRaja
I'm having a serious problem with my computer; I think I've narrowed it down to the motherboard, but I'd like a second opinion before I spend the money.
Before I moved into my new apartment, my desktop was working fine; now, it just won't work. It will turn on, the fans will spin up, lights come on... but nothing appears on the screen. No POST, nothing. I've tried:
A different monitor (both are VGA)
A different video-card (both are DVI, PCIe)
Three different, known-good VGA-DVI adapters
The onboard video port (VGA)
Reseating the memory, and trying only one stick
Different, known-good wall-outlets
Unplugging the HDD and CD-drive from both the motherboard and PSU
Replacing the PSU
Has anyone had this happen before? Perhaps it's a known problem with this motherboard? Any advice!?
Here are my specs:
A13G+ V3.0 motherboard
2 2-gig 800mhz DDR2
600-watt PSU
two older Geforce video cards
