My MS friend's system and my spare system are both down. I suspect mobo trouble, ordered a new one and a new Athlon 1100 (separate sources) and no matter what I swap with what (including video boards) neither will light the monitor. I didn't dare swap any components with the good system except the monitor. Both monitors work with the good system and neither works with the other two.
I had a similar problem several months ago and only solved it by buying a mobo/CPU bundle. Is it possible that bad mobos and CPUs can contaminate each other?
Back in 386/486 days, I never had this sort of problem. Of course, those were inferior chips and they often gave out after a year or so. Have higher speeds made components harder to work with?
