Hi guys, if you could spare a min I need to pick your brains.
My old Athlon 5000 had become my htpc, it's old for sure, 2005 or so sans some other upgraded parts, it's been iffy for a while.
It stopped producing a picture, nothing at all. I took the hard drive out, mounted it in another pc and sure enough it was corrupted in some way, it couldn't boot windows as the primary drive, but as a 2nd drive I salvaged the data.
So sure enough I thought if I whack an older working drive in I could get things going, but alas still no picture. I tried a different gfx card incase that had blown, yet again no picture. My thinking is that it should at least let me into the bios/early boot screens regardless of the drive.
Do you think the motherboard has had it?
