AGP Failure?
Hi,
Soltek SL-75FRV Athlon XP2000 GeForce Ti-4200 2xHDD 1xDVD+/-RW My box has been switched on permanently for nearly four months. I've been away on holiday for a week and decided to power off. On my return I turned the box on but there was no signal to the monitor. The disks were spinning but I couldn't see anything. I wiggled a few cables etc before deciding to fit an old Riva TNT2 AGP card. This worked fine. Ahah! The 4200 must be knackered - great excuse to buy a 6600GT. No joy - the GT at least allowed me a glimpse of the Soltek BIOS splash screen then it froze. I tried a GeForce 5200 with the same result. In fact the 4200, 5200 and 6600 all exhibited the same symptoms: at some point between power up and logon the screen would either freeze, be garbled or not send a signal to the monitor. At this point I replaced the power supply (350W). Still no joy - only the Riva TNT2 card works which is as solid as rock. I've run out of ideas. Any suggestions? Martin |
