Just upgraded from an ATHLON 1600+ to a 2500+ Barton
MSI K8N2 motherboard
GeForce Ti4200 graphics card
All I did was change the CPU.
Heatsink is in, fan on, everything seems to run fine.
It makes the sounds that it usually does when I start the computer up.
The only problem is that the monitor won't show anything. It doesnt seem to know that the computer has been turned on.
I don't think its my graphics card, cause I tried it in a dif comptuer and it worked fine.
I may have hit my motherboard once with my screw driver when trying to get the heat sink fastened.
Could an invisible scratch on the motherboard cause this?
Is there anything else it could be?
Thanks for any help.
