I have a problem with my old computer (let's call it Computer X), and I'm seeking help.
Computer X has these specs
OS: Windows XP
CPU: AMD Athlon XP +1800
Memory: 2 x 512mb
Motherboard: MB VIAK T333 6P1A3D KX7 - 333R ABIT
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum EX
Vodeo Card: ATI Radeon 8500 LE 128MB
When I turn on Computer X, I hear fans spinning, the LEDs on the optical drives are blinking briefly, the motherboard's LED is on, and so that means everything has power. But then I get a blank screen. No Windows XP loading screen. No DOS calculation stuff. Nothing.
So I thought maybe it's the video card. I moved Computer X's video card to Computer Y. But Computer Y works with Computer X's video card. So the video card is not the problem.
Does anyone know anything else I should try in order to find/solve the problem?
