G'day,
My computer stopped working last week, initially was unable to turn the computer on or it would turn on but then stop (No beeps).
Was initially told by a colleague that it could be a case of my hard drive has fried!
Have started to replace hard drive but still have same problem. Am not able to get to the start up window, (BIOS) to be able to change the start up sequence as mentioned in the booklet received with the new hard drive.
Would appear to have 2 video cards one connected to the motherboard the other is separate in on of the slots further down the tower unit.
I have tried other monitors on the computer but still to no avail.
When the computer is switched on the monitor gives nothing just a blank screen, the fan inside starts up and I am able to open the cdrom so power would appear to be getting to it.
Not quite sure what computer it is but am running windows XP and it has a Pentium 4.
If anyone can provide some solutions it would be appreciated.
