[martymas]

hi all

im trying to

get this old compt going

ive changed the mother board

and bought another video card

it was going before i messed with it.

now i get a post beep.

and i hear it booting

but i cant get a pic

this is a 166 p

64mg ram

the monitor is ok the

hdd is ok the cdrom and floppy

are going through normal light up order

i just hope spme dosent suggest it is ram

because it is eddo ram

and i may not be able to replace it.

i only use the compt to practice and experiment with

but it is nice

when you can get an end result .

Hi Marty.

Just wondering, do you have onbord video?

Is the bios set correctly for the video? Not trying to read a PCI slot, for instance?

I have an older than hell Cyrix 686 comuter and that happened to me once.

I agree, if you have onboard video and it still works, clear cmos and connect the monitor to the onboard. See if that solves it. Then if it does configure your bios and set things up to use the other video card.

If you do not have onboard video, try reseating the card. It may have come just loose enough to cause no signal, but not to trip the no video card error.

hi all .in reply

no it isnt an on board video

it is 64 mg card

i use for experimenting.

i had it going at one stage

but when i tried to install win 98

it got to a certain point

and i got the message

your download was interupted

so i had to stop the download

i was advised that is not enough ram

so i changed the ram and mobo.

now i cant cant ino the bios

as the option doesnt show.on the screen

i hear the boot up

but get no pic.

thanks
