Monitor doesn't get signal from vid card,

[francis gérard]

Bah. I'm doomed I'm doomed! I removed the jumper like said but alas no
activity from the A drive

doh!
btw, you don't need video card installed, just cpu, ram in bank0, and floppy
drive to restore the BIOS bootblock.

if the BIOS recovery mode doesn't work, then there's something wrong with
the board. remove it from the enclosure, flip it over and carefully inspect
the bottom for shorted pins, broken circuit traces, flecks of
debris/conductive material, use alcohol to clean if necessary. rest the
board on non-conductive, antistatic surface, remove cpu and ram and other
peripheral hardware from the board, inspect them carefully for damage.

start over, plugin CPU, make sure it's properly seated and locked. do the
same for the RAM, bank0 only (2modules). don't reassemble the board inside
the enclosure just yet. either remove the power supply and floppy drive
from the enclosure or flip on its side, close enough so that the power
supply leads and floppy cable will plug into the mainboard. check
everything over (at least twice), connections all good, no stray conductive
materials to cause a short, etc. start her/him up.

i assume you've tested all peripheral hardware, cpu, ram, video, etc in
another machine (mainboard)?

tip - the antistatic bag that the mainboard was packaged in would make a
good antistatic surface to rest the board on while it's being worked-on
outside of the enclosure.

Do you think Nathan is so dumb, that he couldn't grasp the first time you
told him
there is no integrated video on that particular MOBO model (at least until
he
replied to your initial response), or do you just like seeing yourself
repeat the
same thing over and over again?

who pissed in your wheeties this morning?
and thanks for contributing absolutely *nothing* of value to this
discussion.

you don't like what i have to say... BLOCK ME and FO!

So, you answer a question with a question; I guess ol'Nathan will just have to live in condescension.

Wow, getting pissy regarding what you *think* I like or don't like (though I never posted a word to convey that thought)! Do yourself a favor, don't assume so much, and direct your reply according to the query.

Anyway, what is your answer to the question?

look fool, do NOT put words in my mouth, i did not imply for a millisecond
that nathan was "dumb" (YOU said that, NOT me). furthermore, i would not
say any such thing about Nathan, as i've read many of his articles, he,
unlike yourself, is one of the few who do NOT say dumb things. if you had
read more carefully, instead of nitpicking about newsgroup etiquette, you
would have seen that i agreed with Nathan's assertion about the onboard
video, and i merely followed-up with a correction about the D850GB. i think
Nathan is SMART enough to figure that out on his own, and doesn't need
persnickety pricks like you to hit-n-run on a discussion thread without
contributing anything of value.

i'll stop assuming when you stop your bitching about my articles

Anyway, what is your answer to the question?

you idiot... haven't you been following this thread??? i think not. READ
CAREFULLY, i've contributed many follow-up articles to the original query.

LOL! Nathan is smart enough (I know that myself), but you sure didn't post like that. Here are your post in order:

the Intel D850GB does not have onboard video

the Intel D850GB does not have onboard video

and of course, you're right, that was also the first thing i thought of, but
being unfamiliar with the D850GB, i looked it up on the ****Intel site to see if
it had integrated video, which it does not**** (**** added to show the same thing you > stated twice before)

Who said I was bitching, I simply asked question, then you bitched!

you idiot... haven't you been following this thread??? i think not. READ
CAREFULLY, i've contributed many follow-up articles to the original query.

Your first two were not follow ups, as I posted above, rather exact simplistic replies, the third showed you felt the need to explain what you probably felt what he needed as an explanation. Anyway, you accuse me of not following the thread, when I ask you why you made the same simple point to Nathan three times. Ever wonder why you feel the need to be sure someone follows your thread?

I'll check back to see if you, somehow, interpret this latest reply to you as a form of "bitching" LOL!

Before this post turns into WWIII

I am used to Intel Chipsets such as i865G being their integrated
graphincs. I simply assumed it was 850G for the chipset. This was MY
fault for not looking this up first before posting.

As for francis, he did exactly what I would have done. The two posts
were seperated and I would have followed up both of them just as he did.
As for this from francis' thread: "furthermore, i would not
say any such thing about Nathan, as i've read many of his articles, he,
unlike yourself, is one of the few who do NOT say dumb things.". I have
had my moments of stupidity. We are all allowed those moments

To Tom, thanks for defending me. It is always great to know that others
respect my opinions as well as those of others (especially the MVP's who
try their hardest to provide consistent help). I really enjoy the level
of intelligence and willingness to help that is so easily seen
throughout these newsgroups.

Sorry I didn't repsond earlier to this post, but I was at work all day
and just got home

you're not following the entire discussion... go to the source of the
thread, at the top, starting with the original query from 'TheBladeRoden',
expand all the threads... you will see that there are lots of helpful
followups from me. i count 7 articles from myself, not including the
followups to nathan and this bullsh*t with you! that makes at least 10
followups from me in this discussion thread.

look, it's your problem that you can't follow a newsgroup discussion... and
this bitching and banter is useless. you've added your 2cents worth
(literally), now piss-off if you can't say or add anything useful. i'm
tired of your idiocy.

You have to be one of the most fragile people I've encountered in these groups!
