Motherboard Issue?

[Loshee]

Hi,

I've had my HTPC sitting unused for the last month or so. Turned it on today, no error beeps or anything but nothing displays. Mobo has onboard graphics but I use a card.

I've taken the card out and put it in another desktop and it works fine. I've also put multiple cards in the HTPC and none work, nor do the onboard graphics.

Is this a mobo issue, or could it be another thing as well?

You often have to plug your monitor into the onboard video on first boot so you can get into the BIOS and tell it to use an add-in graphics card.

It is not picking up onboard either.

The GPU on the card could have crapped out on you.

Very possible.

He meant motherboard. I read motherboard, anyway.

Not a Chief. MM3. My appologies. That was the only clear image I could find of an anchor at the time.

Ah. No worries. Still nice to see a squid out here in the intarwebs.

It's like my 3rd home, next to my house, and the ship...

I can flash the bios to use the graphics card right? That should give an answer on if I need to replace the board or not.
