Hi there,
I've got an annoying issue with my pc, like the title says.
One day, while running an application my computer went to sleep, and needed a restart. After the restart it would not post, beeping no video detected. I tried clearing the cmos, with and without the battery, that did not work. After a few days i got a friend to bring over his video card and try booting with it, and it worked ( he's got a 9800gt, i've got a 9600gso booth XFX ). I have read somewhere to change something in the bios ( repost video on s3 resume - i changed it to "yes" ) but that didn't help, it still wouldn't post my videocard. I tried again with only one stick of ram, on all slots, still no result.I thought my videocard is toast.
Here's the interesting part, i wanted to make sure it's the videocard , and i took it over to my friend's place and test it in his computer, and there it worked, it booted up fine, so i've learned it's not the videocard .
I've asked xfx tech support for help, they told me to ask asus.
I've done everything i and my friend could think of, so any wise suggestion is welcomed. ( My pc worked fine for over a year when this 'till this happened, i had only one problem before, with a seagate 500gb hdd )
These are my pc specs:
Asus P5Q motherboard
Intel E8400 CPU
Kingston DDR 2 ( 4x1 gb 1333 running at 1066 )
Samsung 250 gb hdd
XFX 9600 gso 786 ram ddr 2
Thermaltake 470-w PSU
That's all i can think of now, thanks for you attention.
