Bootup problems

etcetera · 09-01-2005, 09:00 AM

I have an older SCSI workstation running Fedora Core 3 and I cannot boot it up anymore. It is not even getting to the point where I get anything on the monitor. The monitor acts as if it was not plugged in and says it is in "Power save mode"

However, the power turns on, the hard drive turns on and gets warm and is spinning and the mother board light turns on, the fans spin.

Could it be the video card failed? I have a 6-year old Matrox Millenium video card. I resat it a few times to no avail.

Sounds like it could be.

I will get a replacement and see if that makes any difference.

Really I should upgrade to a different machine as hardware is beginning to fail.
