Hi. I built my own computer few years back and it causes problems now. First, I turned on my computer for the entire night. When I checked the computer in the morning, the screen was out (all black, no response). So I turned off the computer and restarted but my computer refused to boot. Because I had to go somewhere, I left the computer as it was and finally came back to fix it. The problem is I can't even get into safe mode. I tried to but right before the windows pop up, the system just freezes. I thought I did something wrong, so I tried to format the computer, but it does not work. It says it is going to boot from cd rom, but it doesn't and freezes. But here comes the biggest problem. I just left the computer when it froze, and after a minute or so, there was a spark and the screen went out with a burnt smell from the computer. I thought it was the video card that was burnt, so I changed to my old card, but screen doesn't come back. Now I don't know what to do. Please help.

processor: athlon xp 2500+
mobo: Abit NF7-S
video card: Radeon 9700 pro
replaced vdeo card: radeon 9250
 
I don't think it is power supply because when I turn on the computer now, every parts seems to work fine except the screen doesn't work.
 
why don't you check ur monitor status. try at another pc, n look can it work normally or get same result like before... if it doesn't work, it mean it's ur monitor problem. but if it work something else or some component in ur cpu might be in a bad condition...
 
it is not my monitor for sure. I have to do try and error by using other parts in my other computer to see what is the problem. This forum has not been great help for me yet.
