Im not sure if there is an onboard video card, im not very versed in pc tinkering.

all the cables and everything were plugged in snug and according to the diagram. the wires were labeled and everything so I know they got plugged back into the right places.

i dont know how i would get around to messing with the bios while installing xp though. how can you do that while its installing? and i cant do it after it installs, because it asked me to reboot and thats what i did. now i have no picture, so i dont even know how i would be able to get into my bios, since the screen is black.

but yes i deleted the partition and installed fresh. it was a genuine disc, not a manufacturers copy or anything.

i want to try to figure it out again but ive just tried so many times, like i said its been a year dealing with that pc, and now that the screen just shows up blank i dont even know where to start or what to do. i cant get anything to show up no matter what i do.
halfassedjedi Reviewed by halfassedjedi on . windows xp install gone bad so something happened to my gaming pc and it basically went kaput. I dunno what happened to it. So anyways, I was trying to install win xp on it and basically after it installed, it asks you to reboot. after i did this, it rebooted but the screen stays blank. just a black screen. I have no idea why, and I have wrestled with trying to fix this pc for almost a year now. does anyone know why this would happen? I was thinking that maybe its because I have an awesome ati radeon video card Rating: 5
