Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with my PC. I recently purchased a new MB and Processor. (Abit IS7-E2 with 2.4ghz Celeron D processor) along with an Antec 480w PSU. My old parts are a Radeon 9600 video card. And Corsair 512mb 3200 memory.
Now, upon boot-up, I hear all the fans spin, the HD makes it's hum, the lights on the MB light up as they should, and I hear a single beep. However, I can see nothing. Since most of the parts are new, I think I can rule them out, especially since the MB/CPU were run by the store for 2 hours when I first suspected they were part of another problem.
So that only leaves the Ram/Monitor/Videocard. If the ram is bad, I believe it would beep repeatedly. And I tried another monitor, which did not display anything either. So I suppose that leaves the card. I just got the idea that maybe the brightness/contrast was goofed up. But my monitor has a little on-screen display for those controls and that showed up fine, and adjusting them made no difference.
I have tried to reseat the videocard (along with everything else), but to no avail. So would it be reasonable to conclude I need a new videocard?
