Hello,
A few days did a post a problem with that my screen was going black during boot of my computer.
I got the suggestion to uninstall the gfx drivers for it which seems to help, but as soon as I tried to install the latest version (nVidia 7950 GX2) it came back.
So I decided to reinstall the computer in the hope that would help but the problem still existed. It worked fine with the drivers that came with Windows but as soon as I tried to upgrade them the problem reappeared.
Well my computer problems are continuing unfortunately.
I needed to copy a large amount of files from one hdd to another. So put it to copy and then came back a few hours later to notice my screen had frozen.
So i rebooted the computer but to my horror didnt the screen even come on.
I assumed my gfx card had finally given up, but I wanted to confirm that before running out and buying a new one did I move a gfx card from another computer (which works) but still nothing. It doesnt even seem to boot.
The fans are all coming on, I hear my dvd drive do a read or two but that is it. No picture and no furhter read of the hard disk. Not any of the warning beeps from the motherboard either
So I am assuming this is my motherboard that has given up? Seems strange that it has happen just as I was having gfx card problem (or so I thought) which makes me a bit worried.
Can I safely assume it is the motherboard or are there anything I can do test this theory (before I run out and by a new one)? The only thing I couldn't change easily to test if they work in another computer is the processor. But this doesnt seem to be a memory problem, and I have already tested changing the GFX card
Thanks
Jon
