| 530561 | 2007-03-06 01:53:00 | One day a few weeks ago, my PC randomly shut off and wouldn't turn back on. Nothing would start up. I purchased a new motherboard and power supply. The green light indicating power to the motherboard would turn on, as would the power supply fans and everything, but the lights on the motherboard indicated a VGA error. I sent in the DOA mobo and a new one arrived today, but I have to wait until my brother gets home from California in a couple of weeks so he can install it before I'll know if it works. So my question to you guys is, is a VGA error usually a result of just a bad motherboard? Or could it be something else, such as another part that I'll need to replace? By the way, it is NOT the monitor..I tried plenty of monitors that have worked with other computers. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! |

The motherboard itself was a Biostar TeForce6100. The old one that I believe fried was also a Biostar..so don't ask why I bought from them again. |
