I've an old computer that I'm trying to revive. AGP8x, Socket A A7N8XE-Deluxe, AMD 2500+.
A few years back it started generating artifacts(on an AMD 9600xt) and I set it aside. Recently I would try to boot it up and it would reach post 50% of the time. When it did it would artifact. I bought a new geforce 6200 and a new PSU. I got it to post once with the 9600xt and the new PSU. I ran a confirmed working DVI cable to a currently working monitor. Reseated the single ram(pc3200 400/512) in all 3 slots. My guess is a dying motherboard..
