Hey all:
Been away a long time (everything on my HTPC has been stable for over 2yrs) AMD 3200 running MCE 2k5, 400w antec power, 6800 Nvidia (AGP) card feeding 58" panny plasma. Wifey was dowloading from netflix, "says" she turned it off with normal shutdown, but now, when powered on, the light comes on, as do fans, but nada on the screen. I tried switching to vga to a CRT monitor, still nada. (haven't tried using the mobo vid output, I'll try that tonight).
I originally presumed HDD failure (have a WD Caviar 300g as primary,with a Seagate 250g as secondary), but wouldn't I still get SOMETHING on screen if it was a HDD failure?
Fan on the 6800 spins, but not sure if its the problem, or the mobo, or the power supply, any sagacious advice, oh wise ones?
Thanx for any help,
Joel
