Members tenyearsgone Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'm working on my friends computer. It had all these viruses on it and it was slow as hell and didn't work very well. Over time it got worse and worse. Eventually it got stuck on the log in screen and would usually never get past that. A while later my friend tried to turn it on again but this time the monitor show nothing. Not even black, the power light goes green for a second and then it goes orange (off/standby). I've tested the monitor and it works and I've also tried another monitor. I figured it was the hard drive and he got a new one. Same old song and dance. I've tried booting with the XP disk in...still nothing.What could be wrong? Bad video card? I'm lost.Thanks.Yo. Video card took a dump. That's my guess. To test it take it out and try it in another PC, no display, definitely the video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chunky-b Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 You should be able to strip PC down to motherboard, power supply, and video card and it give or you some image. It may be a warning that there is memory missing or no hard drive / operating system, but there should be something. So my bet is on video card, also.
