What's Happend?

Hi there,

I was installing Windows XP onto a PC and it go to around 53% and it crashed.

I reset the PC, but now the Monitor is not displaying anything? I have tried a different monitor and that didn't work.

The monitor is acting like its got a signal, but its not displaying anything.

What have i done? Have I broken the graphics card?

Thanks.

Ok this is what it says in the Manual:



But it doesn't state a time period, should i use do it instanteously (for 1 second) or other?

Nope that didn't work. I still have the same problem.

Try reformatting your hard drive with a win98 disk, after fdisking it

I know a couple of people that have had this problem because hardware has not been installed right, so check your hardware as well

I can't as there is no display, I have no other PC I can put the HDD in yet, although I could try this tomorrow. I can see why this happend as the windows didn't fully install as stated in the first post.

to clr CMOS...

Take battery out
put the jumper on the clear CMOS in yer case put the jumpers on pin 2 - 3 for 1 min
then put the jumper back on defauly CMOS setting in your case pins 1 and 2
then put the battery back in...

If this does not work...no signal usually means gfx card prob....take it out and reseat it...

Do you have an onboard gfx card?

- how when he has no display hrrhrhrh

I have an ATI 7000 AGP graphics card (No onboard)

I have tried this method of resetting the cmos with no avail.

I have also tried reseating the card as said but with no avail again.

I am starting to think that it's the mainboard that it broken, I don't have another graphics card or PSU?

I have tried with the minium needed to display
