Have PC with integrated graphics on motherboard. Computer running, monitor no display, power down and reset buttons aren't working. hooked up working monitor - same issue. cold reboot of pc same thing, no post no picture. If integrated graphics is motherboard dying?
Update: Specs: ECS A780GM-A motherboard with integrated ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics. Windows XP SP3 32 bit

StaticHS: Thanks for reply, but I don't know how to reset CMOS or get into BIOS without ability to see OS loading. Is there a way to reset CMOS some other way?
 
Solution
You reset your cmos on your mobo. If you have your manual there should be a section about resetting cmos.

Have you installed a graphics card yet? (Not integrated)

No, don't have separate graphics card: I could do that but again if I can't see post then I can't get into bios and deactivate integrated. If I install separate card do you think it would default to that instead of integrated.
