My PC config is as below..
AMD athlon 2400+
asus MB A7V266-MX
onboard graphics card.
win xp sp3
I am not sure if this topic is discussed here but i wud like to let u know what is my specific issue.
Till recently (last 6 months or so) my PC was working perfectly fine. then it s started giving blue screen with error messgaes. I found that the RAM is faulty and replaced it.
After a month or so later.. while working, i plugged in my USB drive and suddenly monitor displayed “no signal”. Surprisingly the Cabinet power LED was on, and i cud also see HD LED flickering.
I suspected some software problem so formatted the HD and installed everything again. Still same problem.
Sometimes the PC works just fine with no problems for hours..
when the PC restarts, within a few minutes the display goes off.. but rest everything working even without the pen drive connected.
Now when I connect any USB device the display goes off immediately..
I suspcted USB port problem. but I have 4 ports and it is the same on every port.
Also now it just goes off. with out even connecting anyting!
I checked the cable between monitor and Cabinet and it is fine. My monitor on other CPU’s is also working fine.
This points to either PSU or the MoBo.
What could be the issue? Shall I try MoBo or PSU change?
Thanks
