New Member would like input..should I keep the D8B?

[dnev1]

Found an old pci video card....still no video to monitor. (I removed the original video card when I tested)....

[Crash]

Can you test the old video card, or the "new" old one in something else, just to verify either are good?

[dnev1]

I've switched the original video card now with a couple others I have...and they normally work...but still no video.

[Crash]

I believe the d8b rig is fairly particular on which video card you can use. Are you positive you have one that is compatible?

[Petersueco]

Well, any PCI or AGP video card should at least boot up showing the very first init sequence on the screen. A non compatible card will not keep on loading the OS but you should definitely be able to rule out any problem with the video card and/or the motherboard.

As it is now it appears the motherboard is kaput.

..Seems the same to me. I guess S and X in Tacoma is the place to find parts? Would like to have them just fix it but even if I just get the parts (motherboard..possibly power supply?)...I imagine both ways will be expensive. Hate to just sell as is..but may end up doing just ...really don't want to...
