My computer was starting to freeze yesterday, now all is displaying is this :



Graphics card problem?


Doesn't boot up. Just goes straight to this.

Remove the card and try the onboard graphics

 

[jsmoke]

Could be graphics or motherboard small possibility ram.

Slight chance cleaning out fans or repasting gpu will work also.

Tried onboard graphics , computer whirred and lights on inside but no picture, completely blank, I reckon the motherboard

 

[Servo]

Hmmm you did remove the Gpu?

Yeah tried bashing the del key to get into the BIOS too.

I did order a cheap gpu to test. Do you think it's not worth it considering the onboard I can't get going?

Did you clear CMOS before trying onboard graphics?

 

[VortexA1]

Yeah

 

[jsmoke]

Ram?

 

[VortexA1]

I'll take a stick out and test.

 

[VortexA1]

Ram?

Yeah, taken each stick out and tried both individually. Still nothing.

Yeah a whole new computer. Most of the components are 8 or 9 years old.
