Black screen when starting

by sigra . Updated 21 years, 9 months ago

Problem:
Sometime starting PC screen continue black – monitor LED yellow – not green, pressing RESTART button = the same; using system floppy = the same, changing video card = the same.
After disconnecting PC, cleaning BIOS (pins 1-2, 2-3, 1-2) and/or disconnecting and replacing memory chips screen will working but another day ones again off. Some day after pressing a lot of times RESTART working again but not ever.
