Uhm, on boot, do you get the BIOS screen? I had a similar issue with one of mine. It had both HDMI and DVI outputs. The HDMI didn't work but the DVI did (had to power off, change cables, then power back on so the system would select the alternate video). I survived on DVI until I could install a second video card, then I made it the primary display. Not sure if that'll work for you. > I can ssh into the desktop and use it that way.

Again, if there's multiple video outputs, try all the ports (if your monitor has that ability and power cycle the machine each time you try a different combo). If none of them work, then the odds are that the video went bad and you might be able to just stick in a video card. Most BIOSes will select a card in a PCI slot as primary automatically if it sees it at power up. No guarantee, though. You may have a new mobo in your future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - If Windows isn't a virus, then it sure as hell is a carrier! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
