I have a strange problem. My moms video is acting up on her computer and I cant seem to fix it for her. Basically, I have to keep turning the comp on and off in order for it to display video. Sometimes it displays on the first push but most times it takes several tries. Sometimes, I cant even get it to come on at all. Its the same for the video card as well as the integrated video on the mother board...
When it finally does display, it works perfectly until I restart or turn it off. I have tried everything I could think of: I removed and re inserted the video card, changed the power supply, tried several monitors, installed video drivers etc etc... Im just at a lost here.
Could it be the motherboard? What else could I try?
Specs for this machine:
AMD Sempron 3100+ / 1.8 GHz
512mb ram
NVIDIA GeForce 6100 chipset
Motherboard: http://www.impactcomputers.com/mbem105554k8.html
Any help is greatly appreciated
