Yes, thats a black screen, not blue
My problem is that my friend's computer will not load any type of OS. The computer has worked flawlessly for weeks. Then it just stopped. POST reports no errors. I can watch all of the boot procedure until the OS loading is going to happen. (RAM check, IDE check, RAID load, etc) I cannot even get the box to load Windows Startup from the CD...
I have checked the BIOS
I have swapped out the video card with another that works (the one I'm using right now)
I pulled all un-needed hardware's power cable to check for power issues
All fans are working
I can't get into Safe mode w/ F8, so it's not a screen resolution issue
Hardware Rundown:
AMD64x2 5400
ATI Radeon x1600Pro w/ aftermarket cooling added on to it.
Elitegroup KA3 MVP motherboard
Anyone have an idea?
