I've had my set up for a few years now and I've never run into any problems.
Abit AV8
AMD 3000 CPU
nVidia 6800
Recently the comp has been having issues when starting up.
-When I'd do a restart it would shut down and then just flash a blank screen instead of rebooting (I had to pull the power and restart manually).
-Next it'd have problems with a cold boot, the power would come on and everything would come to life but the mobo would hang on POST code 25 and I'd get a blank screen. (I'd turn the power on and off a few times and it'd start back up no problem)
-Now it just hangs on the POST code and I get a blank screen.
POST code 25 says
"Early PCI Initialization
-Enumerate PCI bus number.
-Assign memory & I/O resource
-Search for valid VGA device & VGA BIOS, and put it into C000:0"
I've tried flashing the CMOS with no luck
I'm afraid this might mean my vid chard is dieing/dead, any other adivce or suggestions. Unfortunately I don't have a 2nd card to swap out and test.
