I work as a part-time computer technician assistant for allinonecomputer and I had a customer bring her computer to my house, and due to me being limited in parts, I tested her Power Supply on my brother’s motherboard, turns out the power supply was bad because it fried two motherboards.
So I had to replace his HP intel motherboard with his celeron 2.7ghz processor with a pentium 2 266mhz processor. Problem is… the damn thing boots up, but the monitor remains black. It has one agp slot and about five pci slots, and one ISA slot.
I have four 4-16mb video cards I tried using in every single slot, repeatedly booting it up and shutting it down and switching. But every slot and card I try… nothing works.
I tried booting a linux live CD, but for some reason (that I can’t see) it’s not booting at all. I also tried a windows CD, but I couldn’t see what was going on.
Any suggestions?
(I’ve gotten most of my computer experience from modifying programs and frankensteining computers in my basement, so I have a lot of non-professional computer background. )
