I've already tried and it doesn't work...
Any other ideas?
I'm afraid that only one solution is to change the graphics card
(
Can PC work without any graphics card???
In the past I've seen boards on which it was possible to boot without
a video adapter, though they were few and far inbetween, and long
enough ago that I can't even remember the motherbaords... probably
somewhere between the 486 and Pentium 2 era.
The big question is, WHY won't it boot, when does it stop?
What OS?
Can you monitor the boot process and determine where it's (hanging?) ?
Generally, a system will boot without a monitor attached, so I'm
wondering what's unique about what you're doing. I'm not sure but I
though I'd booted a TNT to Win98 before without a monitor, though it
wasn't an eventful thing to remember, I might be mistaking it for some
other video card.
No PC configuration that I'm aware of requires the monitor to POST,
begin booting to the OS. I'm therefore under the assumption that the
video card driver is expecting some DCC info back and won't proceed
until it gets some, but that sounds like a bad driver bug, so perhaps
a different driver? Maybe it's not lack of DCC, but what else might
it be?
