Hi!
This is so silly, but it looks like my place is haunted.
Ok: two days ago, my CPU cooler broke, so I exchanged it. Since then I was
pestered by sudden screen blanks, resets, suspends etc.
Today my computer refused to boot completely: the screen showed just 'no
signal input'. I only once managed to get into the BIOS setup screen after
having hit the Reset switch, but the screen blanked as soon as I tried to open
a menu.
So I tried another video card (Matrox G200 instead of a Matrox Millenium).
Still 'no input'.
Next I exchanged *the mainboard* (Gigabyte ATX for Epox ATX). Still the
same error with the Millenium card (the Gigabyte doesn't have an AGP port).
Then I tested the Millenium in my wife's computer (an old AT-Asus board of
mine): no probs at all! (In fact I am writing this mail at it)
The same with my monitor and cables: no probs at all!
I tried **another ATX case**: same problem again...
WTH is this?? How did I managed to enrage the gods of ATX? It's not the
case, it isn't the mainboard, it isn't the video card and it isn't the
monitor. It just doesn't work...
Please, send me your wildest ideas ASAP (will be a long night anyway)!!
All other business cancelled for the time being.
Thanks
tom (on the virge of paranoia)
