Default POST screen error - 10-27-2006, 01:12 PM

I friend of mine is getting a problem when loading up his pc goes into a black screen and gives his a number 2.5 which means Early PCI Initialization:
-Enumerate PCI bus number.
-Assign memory & I/O resource
-Search for a valid VGA device & VGA BIOS, and put into a C000:0

We found one solution which said action: change graphic cards or unplug card and plug card back in again, so he tried that and it was a no go.... so anyone have any ideas?


Thanks.

Does your friends computer have video output on the motherboard? If so unplug the video card, move the monitor to the on-board video output on the motherboard, and test to see if it will work.

Sounds like the video card is toast. Replace the video card.

It turned out to be a loose screw on motherboard.
