I am having a problem with my computer (it is well over 2 years old). It will switch on OK and all of the fans start (case, processor, system board etc), but all I get is a “black screen” – no POST screen, no “beeps” or anything. When I remove graphics card and/or RAM and restart I manage a few (different) beeps! I have discharged the CMOS memory – that has not worked either (though it did work when the computer behaved this way about 6 weeks ago).
Any suggestions as to what to try. . . (though my fear is I might need a new motherboard and CPU – I presume socket A is more or less obsolete now)
System is:
ABit KV7 motherboard
AMD Sempron 2600 (Socket A)
512 MB memory
Maxtor 120 MB HDD
Radeon 9250 graphics card (AGP)
Windows XP Home SP2
