When I recently discovered that I had no video output on my PC, here are the
steps I took that still doesn't work for me.
The motherboard that I have is a Socket A 462 with onboard video.
I went out purchased an ATI graphics card thinking that would fix the
problem since the onboard video wasn't working, still not working.
Then I purchased a new Socket A 462 motherboard without the onboard video
and plugged in my graphics card, still nothing.
Then I took out the graphics card, put a old video card in and it was
working. The screen said it was detecting the floppy drive. It sat there
for about 20 mins and still nothing so then I reset the power to it, then
nothing came up.
Then I reset the CMOS and still nothing appeared.
At this point, I am not sure what else I should do. Please help your tech
expert will be greatly appreciated.
