I have a certain problem with my brother's desktop. It stopped working, and as I am the "electronic dude" of my family-my brother asked me to fix it. Heres the system specs.

Duo core-2.3 GHZ
Foxconn motherboard-G41MX-F 2.0
ATI-HD 4350 graphics card
Memory-2GB

Here is the problem. First it was giving some wierd beep code. I googled it and couldn't find anything, so I simply reset the bios and took out my graphics card and put it back in making sure it was set in place. No more beep code. But now it starts up-lights come on, proccessor starts running, cd drive is operational, and it sounds like it is going through a startup proccess. But no power goes to my screen, keyboard, or mouse. I know that power is coming to the back because I plugged in the internet cable and the light for the internet came on. I googled it, but no soap.

Now I have to add that before all this the computer was crashing and wouldn't start up so I took out the hard drive and wiped it from my laptop...after I put it back in is when the beep code happened, and now this...

I thought maybe I wiped off the bios so I downloaded the Bios for it and slipped it on via my laptop but it is still the same..

Many thanks for any help...

if your board has internal graphics built into the board plug that in first and take out the ati card , use the system graphics to get going then install the ati card

Sounds like the video card was bad.

So now your getting a bios screen.

The problem is, you wiped the harddrive. You now have no OS on the drive to boot to.
 
Well...the computer started up but now it wont install Win7..fortunately I had a copy of WinVista Starter, but I know from experience that starter is one of the worst oem's ever...when I try to install Win7 it stops at 22% every time and I get an error message...it also doesn't let me upgrade...
 
Also..if the graphics card is bad how would I know...might it be a short in the motherboard at the graphics card slot??? I know this....that whenever I plug it in, and plug in the the monitor to it-back to no power for keyboard, mouse, and screen. How would I go about diagnosing??? Thanks

Try plugging any other PCI Express card in place of your GPU and if it works then there is a problem with your GPU if it doesn't then something wrong with the PCIe Lane.
