275002 2004-09-24 10:53:00 Should I have to? I thought that was only for AGP slots? There is no jumpers for this.

Oh yeah, there should be question marks in my previous post.

275003 2004-09-24 10:58:00 I would say you would have to disable the onboard in the BIOS. It SHOULD have the option to disable it in the BIOS. If u have a PCI videocard in it. That maybe one reason why the screen is dead. Spacemannz (808)
275004 2004-09-24 10:59:00 >My PC is a xp2600 running 4 ide devices and a agp card and its a cheapo 300w..

underpowered pc's with elcheapo psu's going faulty is proberly the most comman hardware fault. its just a matter of time before yours dies. just hope it dosn't kill the rest of the pc at the same time.

350 watt for a duron 800 is over kill. a good 250 will be fine. with cheapo's go up a size (eg 300w) so the psu dosn't get worked to much and it should last a lot longer. tho i still much prefer a decent psu to a cheapo.

275005 2004-09-24 11:52:00 Ummm, I can't see the BIOS becos the built in graphics don't work.

Hmmmm, my dads using the old hardwares psu (250W) to run his XP2400... i better go kick him in the ass...

I'll give it a try with a better psu, and see if that does the trick. Luckily I have a new 300w hyena psu thats not being used atm.

275006 2004-09-24 11:55:00 Umm are u sure the monitor is on? lol and that it actually works??

Try the monitor on your dad's PC. See if it does actually work with the other PC.

275007 2004-09-24 12:37:00 we have tried 2 different monitors... sorry I should have mentioned that before willie_M (5608)
275008 2004-09-24 12:49:00 Ok thats a good enough reason to say it might be the videocard.

Does the system turn on at all?? any LED's come on at all?? any fans spinning?

Or is it completely dead?? Or is everything going BUT no monitor/screen?

275009 2004-09-24 12:56:00 ***, i know youre trying help but i aint a n00b!:D

Everything is operational except for the screen...

275010 2004-09-24 13:26:00 Yes 350W would be overkill for a Duron 800, you could easily go for a brand name one with lower wattage if you can find one.

Hyena PSUs are worth about -$1000+. Yes negative $1000+. That's the amount of equipment it will destroy when it inevitably blows up taking half your system with it. :)
