OK .. My sons computer had some serious issues. wouldnt boot, kept turning on and off , blah blah.. So with a process of elimination I think it was a soft ware issue when a new dvd burner was installed. Anyways . I got a new hard drive ( he needed a bigger one anyway) and installed Win XP professional/./ all the while mind you the monitor was on allowing me to view the steps of the install.. OK so then i couldnt get the wireless modem to work, so i shut it down for about a week until i had more time to mess with it.. Well today i turned it on , the hard drive goes on, but the monitor stays at the yellow off lite.. I tried my monitor ( two weeks old and working on my puter) and still same thing.. Could it be that all of a sudden the video card just went.. Win xp was on the computer befor so i know its not the issue that maybe XP doesnt like the card.. Im at a loss, dont want to go out and spend the money on a vidio card if that is not the issue.. It has a permidia 2 vidio and no there is not an onboard one to use. nor another slot to switch this one too.. I just find it very very odd that it worked and now doesnt. HELP my son is having computer withdrawls. Grrrrrr teen agers LOL
thanks in advance
