#637954 — Flakey Video Output

When I turn one of my computers on, the video output is sometimes not 
there, and sometimes is. Computer always boots up normally, making the 
introductory sound of windows coming up, etc. But it is exactly like 
there's no monitor attached. It's not the cable or monitor. That much 
I've tested.

And on some other occasions the screen appears normally when I turn the 
computer on, and if I keep turning the computer off and then on screen 
always appears. On occasions that it won't come up, no matter how many 
times I turn the computer off and on, screen won't come up.

What could it be? Bios? Graphics card? The round 3 volt button battery? 
The electronics on MB itself? Anything like that anybody here 
experienced? This is the first for me. It can't be virus cause that 
computer is hermetically isolated from internet.

I tested the battery, it is still at least 3 volts. Should it be 5 volts?

Likely, your motherboard is shot.

You can connect your monitor to your motherboard and/or your graphics card.

The monitor only has DVI and another kind of port that looks like HDMI 
but one side is square, not clipped. Only the graphics card has those 
ports. The computer itself doesn't.

I could buy a DVI to usb, or DVI to VGA cable and see if that resolves 
the issue, if it is the graphics card that's going bad.

What is a "shot" motherboard?

Hence fielding my questions to gather data. Do you have an input?

If your motherboard proper doesn't have an HTML port . . .
Pull out your AK-47, aim for the center of the board & fire.

No, you need a new motherboard,
one that accepts M.2 NVMe memory cards.

If you can't afford it, there are places that recycle/refurbish old PCs.

That sounds like one of your juvenile dreams. Don't project.

If it had anything to do with MB first time that it happend, 2 years 
back, it would steadily get worse. But it only happened once back then 
and it continued working without any such issues.

Till about two weeks back. Now it is about once every other day.

I need an explanation from you for the reason behind doxing me. Come up 
with one so I don't take further actions. Nothing important, but I may 
do something about it.

You (FitFreak) asked me:
> I need an explanation from you for the reason behind doxing me. 

I didn't "dox" you, I just quoted you & HaHaHanson;
I assumed he was talking garbage, but now I'm thinking he wasn't.
Projecting, he continually called me an "Anal Vacuumist".
    ------
If I were burdened with your borked PC,
I'd buy the latest and greatest motherboard.

But you could buy a used video card, 
see if it works with a brand-new displayPort ( or HDMI ) cable.

Your monitor might be bad.

Hey, cool it. I was bluffing. Hehe :)

I didn't come to this country to sue people. If I wanted, I'd be still 
getting compensation from the doctor who fucked up my thyroid in 1985.

i mean, a computer repair shop
has to have a working monitor,
extra cables, an extra computer to
be able to 'isolate' the problem.

Your header, which I've quoted above, seems to indicate your "working
monitor" is a 4:3 VGA-cable driven, CRT relic.  Try moving into the
year 2000, hardware-wise.

You can tell that from his X-Mailer?

It was the typical display of the time.  Pre-Windows 2000.

I have since, I think, "isolated" the problem :) I have isolated it 
enough to have a workaround. So I'm for now set.

All I need to do is to unplug the power to the entire system after I 
turn the computer off.
