Hello,
a few days ago, I tried to boot up my PC but it just refuses to do so. All the fans work fine, the LEDs on the drives light up as normal, but nothing is displayed on the monitor at all. In fact, the LED on the monitor changes from green to orange and stays that way not long after switching it on. The HDD LED stays on for maybe 20 seconds or so, then goes off, and nothing else happens.
I get no beep codes (or any beep at all for that matter). Just to test that POST is being started at all, I removed my RAM, and started the system up and was greeted by the no memory beep code. I tried the same thing by removing my video card (AGP), but the system acted just the same as if it were still there.
So far I've tried removing the battery and resetting the BIOS, and I've checked the PSU and the wall socket for voltage. I'm 80% sure the problem is my video card, but I would really appreciate any input. Video cards are expensive where I live and even getting another card just to test with might be difficult.
