Hi All
Yesterday whilst watching a youtube vid, the video froze and the screen went black and sent the system into power save mode.
I booted up again and the computer which is a philips freevents showed the usual philips logo but the graphics were unsteady and not centered.
Went straight to power save mode again led on monitor flashes on and off, I tested the monitor and lead on another pc and they work, tried a new power lead on monitor and tower, when I boot up again led on tower lights up, beeps once, after about 20-30 secs hear the windows theme music but still no image and still in power save mode.
My question is can the graphics card be dead, although all fans work and no dust present, just cleaned,how can I tell if it is the graphics card which is a slot into pci type or a motherboard issue.
Any advice would be truly appreciated.
