Video died, but it's not a dead videocard, or monitor
Last night, my secondary system's (Athlon XP 3000+ with a
6600GT AGP) display just went black. I had the system up, & running my personal Shoutcast stream server, and nothing else. I was listening to one of the stream slots over my lan from my main system when I noticed the display of the secondary system just slowly "disappear" into a fine vertical line, and then blank. The system was fine as the stream kept going, and doing "blind typing" commands let me close the stream, and shut down the system. I first just tried doing a power down reboot. No display. I then figure the CRT must have died as it's an old 17". To make sure, I plugged the CRT into my legacy Pentium 3 system with it's Voodoo 5 5500, but it works fine. I then think the 6600GT AGP card must have kicked the bucket, but I installed a working GeForce 2 MX400 AGP, and there still is no display. So both the monitor, and videocard are good, then does this mean the mainboard's AGP slot is dead? |
