Hi there, I got this computer a few months ago and today I finally got the chance to take a look at it. I was told the computer was booting but due to a keyboard issue, the boot sequence would stop at a certain point. Unfortunately, this is not the case at the moment.
After powering it up, the PSU fan spins a few times, stops and the computer does not start. If I remove the video card, then the PSU starts, I hear a long beep followed by 2 short beeps (I read somewhere this is consistent with the removal of the video card) and I am able to see the raster on the screen by moving the monitor adjustment pots. My guess is I have a broken video card.
Any PC expert can help me in figuring out what's going on and my options?
Thanks,
Andrea
