So a friend brought me their pc to fix and I’ve come to a stand still.
It’s an old prebuilt hp (AMD Vision, Windows 7, 4gb ddr3, Radeon gpu). He said it doesn’t give a display signal, all the fans and lights come on and HDD spins though.
So I tried the usual, ie different gpu, different ram, doing a full reboot, unplugging and plugging stuff back in, trying all of the video outs available, and of course making sure my monitor, and cables were working.
Nothing worked, I then thought maybe mobo, so I took out all the ram expecting to get a beep code from the mobo, nothing.
So I ordered a new mobo from Newegg and just finished putting it in, same thing. Fans all start spinning (seemingly at full speed), lights come on and HDD is spinning. Still no signal. Tried taking the ram out (again expecting a beep code), nothing.
I’m starting to think it’s the CPU, any other ideas before I suggest a new CPU to him?
