Hello, -- System built 10 yrs ago.....
Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 3 (build 2600), CPU = 2.40 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core, MOTHERBOARD = MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD MS-7253 1.00 K9VGM-V Series, BIOS = BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 01/25/2007 l Award(LPC) Flash ROM, DISPLAY ADAPTER = NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE, AUDIO = Creative Sound Blaster Live, MONITOR = Acer AL2216W 22.0"vis....After reading dozens of forums, My problem is similar, but also different. The system has operated almost flawlessly since built. The HDD is a Western Digital 10k rpm drive which normal is, you can hear it working. --- Here is the new problem -- Worked good few days ago, now when you turn it on, 1 normal short bios beep (not heard if you restart)-- If you start either way, the post screen, bios screen, Windows logo screen, (or if you try to go to safe-mode or boot from boot CD- CD is first boot dev.) there is no video to see and make selections. After the usual time that it has always booted, the welcome screen comes on and windows is visable and operates as good as it ever has.
The clock does keep the correct time and date and USB printer and scanner and USB hub work normal. Audio is good. --- Since Windows loads and works normally, Any suggestions where to start and if it were video card would windows be normal? Thanks
