Ok, I have a 3 year old machine that I will be replacing late this year or early next. To be honest, it doesn't get too much use, but I do use it for a few things. Anyways, I was clumsy and knocked over the case while it was sitting on a concrete floor
Immediately after, the system seemed fine. But a week later when I next went to use it, it was hung. I tried rebooting and the output feed from the vid card to my display goes out about halfway through the Windows XP boot sequence. I can access shared resources on the PC from other machines on my network, so I guess the O/S and other components are working ok. Without a usable output to a display (the motherboard doesn't have one), I can't do much with it.
I tried reseating the card and checking for loose components, but I didn't see anything amiss. If someone has other suggestions, I'd be happy to try but in case the card is toast, what would be a cheap (<=$80) replacement for a PNY Ti4600? By the way, the slot is an AGP Pro. Thanks in advance.
