On board video died, new motherboard

[JohnRB805]

Just rebuilt a computer using an ASRock Q1900M. The on board video died after a month. Replaced with another one and same thing. BTW, tried a known good video card both times and while in all cases the board is going about its business and booting, no video. Used a brand new Thermaltake TR2 430 Watt PS which has all kinds of over voltage and such safeguards so that can't be the problem. Is the Q1900M just a bad line of mobos?

Thermaltake TR2 is old, and it wasn't really that good when it was new... Can't say it's not the problem.

You see, ASRock was supposed to be a more budget friendly Asus. However, many of their boards fail prematurely, so I do not recommend them. If you look at reviews on Newegg, many people have had similar problems. Probably because it's a budget company.

I hate it when software errors occur on something that affects me yet it's not something I can troubleshoot because I'm just a normal user..

You're not like just replying and then deleting it over and over again, are you?

No, I am not. I started to write but got interrupted and forgot, closed the browser and all the tabs. Could that have triggered something?

IDK... The forum has been experiencing errors all week. But this is the first I've been affected by it.

Thank you for being honest.
