I apologize for not responding to some of you but the symptoms have
changed. I'll get to that in a moment. First, I want to clear up some
apparently mistaken assumptions about me and my system.
From some of the comments, it appears that many of you think I'm a
professional system administrator with a 'significant' system. (I take
this as a complement, by the way.) While I am an IT professional, I'm
not a *professional* system administrator. The system I administrate is
a small home network with a server/workstation (the one that's broke), a
dual-boot workstation, and a Windows laptop. I guess you could say that
I'm a part-time administrator. Now to the new symptoms.
I now get no display at all, not even the stuff you normally get when
you boot the system. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't any PC
monitor display that stuff, regardless of whether or not a driver is
installed? All that I do get is "No VGA Input" and "Monitor going to
Sleep". This sounds like a hardware problem. I removed my existing card
(GeForce 2) and installed a newer one (GeForce FX 5200). No display.
Reinstalled the older card. Replaced VGA cable. No display. Removed
power for 20 seconds & reconnected power. No display. Replaced monitor
with known good monitor. No display. Now I'm really lost.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to proceed?
