Then buy the ram too if it comes to that, maybe chepaer or on par with a tech ...... if you don't play games, i get builtin video. in case the motherboard and video are both zapped. you could buy the video card too :D BTWN when you tried the video card did you disable the builtin one?

Sure its all txt but if you see that then you should get a normal GUI as well, even if it is from a CD. When Linux (ubuntu) boots from the CD that loads into RAM UNLESS there is some sort of damage that causes the graphics to fail when there is more of a load. Thats what i was thinking, this is why im not sure on anything. This happened when i was adding a new graphics card. I can see the "Starting windows" screen and that isnt a CL interface. Memtest runs in dos like conditions, which seems to be fine. DOS runs fine, heh, i wonder if doom would work. I think it might be if the load is heavy, i read somewhere that it might switch inputs at some point but ive tried every port available for display. Well, besides S-Video.	Programmar (15930)

Memtest would normally be run from a Bootable CD. So whats stopping a GUI from displaying - The CD's would load into RAM first, and thats when it appears to be failing. Only thing I can think of without actually testing is - unless they are failing under more of a load. :confused: A new board may very well fix it - But if it doesn't ?????	wainuitech (129)

Yeah, it gets automatically disabled anyway. But i did go into bios and disable it. yes I know that - I did read it, BUT like I mentioned before - Somethings is very weird - (think about it) -- IF memtest is running and can be seen, then the graphics are working to a degree.

If it doesnt, ill send it back haha. Im running memtest from USB. I get the same result if i run the windows recovery tool on the harddrive as if i run it from a CD. Says its loading files, when it completes, no display. So i doubt it could be a RAM issue. Memtest didnt return anything bad either. And also, i tried to run pen drive linux but that also stopped the display just after the command line splash screen it has. When it says, press enter to boot.	Programmar (15930)

If it fixes the problem - great :thumbs: If the problem is still there, then it could be a waste of money, unless you are able to return the board or sell it. Will be good to know the out come though please.	wainuitech (129)
