No display

Well quite. A PC I am working on at the moment doesnt display anything, at all. Monitor says no display connected.
I checked the PSU, GPU and ram at another computer.. So they work. Also I removed the HDD to make sure it is not the problem...
All connected fans (well the case has only 1 fan...) are spinning, so are the GPU and CPU fans.
I took out the c-mos battery for few days. Put it back in. Still nothing.
When I remove the ram unit the pc does beep, recognizing there is no ram.

At this point I wanted to just check a different mother board / cpu to 100รท identify the problem. Problem this thing is very old and no store here sells any compatible part.
Are there any more things I can check/clean/fix before I sebtence thid thing to a junkyard and suggest new parts?

Hmmm. Maybe in the BIOS you have to change the output. (I don't know the exact wording they use without shutting down my box to look). I've switched cables from onboard graphics to a graphic card, but it would not work until I changed this in the BIOS.

If not, give me more info. Does the monitor work elsewhere? Does a different monitor work on this computer?

You reset the BIOS, but did you change the output?

This explains it in better detail than me:

This motherboard does not have an on board gpu. The only display connector is on the GPU

Well, you don't have to yell at me.


Take a look in your BIOS and see if there is anything as explained in the link, regardless of having onboard or not.

Haha. I'm kidding, of course. If you knew me personally you would know I'm just being a fool.
