Fixing a dead 'orse.

[Dave****]

I am just in the process of formatting a friends very old PC (1ghz CPU 1gb RAM).

I just loaded the default bios settings and now the display will not turn on.

Tried it on 3 monitors, all the same, and I can hear it booting into windows.

I figure what I have done is forget to set it to AGP mode for the display card to function.

My only problem is that there is no on board VGA.

Any ideas what I can/should do please?

I am going to remove the CMOS battery now because I cannot find the reset jumper on the motherboard and see if that does anything.

Thanks

Well, should have tried what I said before I wrote all that.

Sorted now.

Sometimes it just takes you to verbalise the problem, which you did. Congratulations.
