also try the ram, try it in your compaq and see if it works, hey you never know

 

[GuitarFreak1857]

yeah that's a good idea... i'll do that later when i'm not using this. i replaced the ram in this compuetr awhile back. i put 1GB OCZ ram. its nice

yeah the main problem is the video card, you sure you plugged in everything, and locked the cpu into the socket?
