Hello
About a week ago my old PC (a 2 and a half HP desktop) stopped working. There was no longer a beep at startup, no signal to my AVG-monitor (An even older one, 5 years old I think. Unknown brand 15" - so small and old).
I was about to buy a new PC anyways, so i went out and purchased one. Now today when it arrived i was very happy with my purchase. A friend of mine has a little older version of the same PC (The new is an Acer M5201 with an AMD 9650 processer and an ATI Radeon 3850 graphic card.
I plugged in and, inside i had a little fear of that the display wouldn't show anything. And my fear got real. It didn't even say No Signal - there just wasn't any.
I've tried with my brothers perfectly working newer monitor (No DVI though) and the cable of his too. Same thing happened, though when i removed the cable while the monitor and PC was on (Not quite smart after thinking of it. Was to frustrated to think properly at the moment) it started display "Check signal Cable" or something like that.
The MB has a VGA slot, and on the graphics card there is two DVI inputs. I don't have a DVI monitor at home, so I can't check that. I'll drag it to the store tomorrow, and tell them about this, but it would be great to get help at home, and not needing to go there. That's why I post that.
If there's any information you need, which I didn't list please ask.
I would appreciate any help so much, so ANY input is appreciated. :confused:
Thanks in advance, 0eyvind.
