    Ok I have a friend that has a problem with his Dell PC its a Deminsion,The pc powers up fine all power to floppy,both hdd, and cd rom drive. The problem is that there is no video coming out. At the moment theres a Nvidai 32mb AGP card in the system, I have replaced this with a known working AGP card no joy, I have alos resated the CPU,memory, and removed all the other PCI cards from the pc, I have used a known working PCI vga card in all slots and still the same, this pc is out of warrinity so I dunno what to tell me to do, I believe its either a dodgy motherboard, but as I have no spare board to test this I dunno where to go.... Is there anything else I can try?

    No it got no blast of power as it is connected to a surge proctor, I got it to power up last nite using all it orignal cards in it... While it was powered up I flashed the BIOS and ran a Full Diag on it for 12 hours everythings tested ok, Maybe after reseating all the cards the 2nd time it may be sorted this is a weird Imtermient problem ......
