Hello all.
I was tinkering with this pc last night. (Swapping around some GPUs)
After I had finished I put the system back together and turned it on.
The system posted as normal but all the white text was purple. Not like when a VGA cable is loose, actual purple with a few words still in white.
After the post finished the PC speaker made some awful sounds and I shut the machine off.
Now it refuses to post. Not even any error beeps.
I have tried:
Different known working ram.
Different known working CPU (both 100 and 133mhz and slot1/slocket)
Different GPUs - AGP, PCI and even ISA.
All non essential parts have been unplugged (sound cards drives etc.)
I have studied the board in detail and cannot see any burned or damaged components.
If a modern machine still displayed this behaviour after these checks I would likely condemn it but I dont want to write off this board that easily!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
