No Display!!!

lets get straight to the problem. i changed my motherboard with the an exact same one to see if there was a problem with my video driver. i tried to use it but it the monitor didn't show anything, so i changed it back to the one i was using but the same thing happened to that one aswell. any ideas why it isn't working????

First off, I've given up mind reading for new years, so you'll have to fill us in on the make/model of your motherboard, video card (if not integrated), and windows version.

Easy question first: do you get anything on the screen at boot? If not, you have a hardware problem, not a driver problem. Have you confirmed that the monitor is working?

i do not have my motherboard with me right now so i do not know the make, but i do know that has an intigrated video card. my os is windows server 2003. i will get back to you on the mother board.

p.s the monitor is not the problem as it works with other computers.

...Ok....You are overwheming us with a lack of information.

When you boot the machine do you have video? Or do you lose video once you are in Windows?

Have you properly reinstalled everything on the new board? Made sure the RAM & CPU are properly seated?

There is a possibility you damaged components when you moved them.

How computer savy are you? Have you installed M/B's before?

does the machine beep when you boot it? if so is it more than one beep?

have you verified the monitor works since the problem started? Or are you basing it off of the "monitor was working before?"


If you have not checked recently, verify no pins are bent on the cable & test it on a working machine.

We really need to know your system specs. This includes MB manufacturer, Model, proc, RAM, AGP/PCI/(dare I say ISA devices)
CD-ROM/Hard drives....etc... You get the idea.


when you posted you are doing the same thing as going into the doctors office and saying "I hurt, tell me what's wrong" without explaining anything. Details are everything in this business :)


...And just out of curiosity, why are you running windows server 2003?
