Hey,
My recent problem is that when I switch on my PC it sparks to life but nothing happens on the screen.
What is the likely cause? I was thinking it was the mobo to begin with, then thought the cpu and then maybe the GFX but I have no idea! Is there a way to test parts?
I have no spares to play around with so cannot really check parts by swapping around.
I was planning to upgrade it soon anyway but need to find out which part(s) have gone as they'll be up for sale.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions guys.
P.S. Is it worth keeping the existing PSU and memory or going for 2Gb of something else? Considering an X2 4400+.
Cheers.
Spec:
Athlon XP 3200+ Barton
DFI nforce 2 Ultra B
1Gb Mushkin BH5 Level II
74Gb Raptor
Sapphire 9800 Pro
Vantec 520W Stealth
