Hey guys - think I have this pretty much nailed down, but since I haven't had this happen in a number of years I wanted to run it by you to make sure I'm not forgetting anything. My sister's PC powers up, but has a black screen. I've:
1. Cleared the CMOS jumper/removed battery for 15 minutes (pressed power button several times).
2. Swapped out power supply
3. Tried another monitor
4. Swapped out the video card
5. Disconnected the two SSDs and optical drive
6. Pulled all memory sticks but one (and then tried the others).
Nothing has worked - cant' even get a BIOS splash screen. Am I forgetting anything else before concluding its the motherboard? Its a Phenom II X4 955 BE with an ASUS M4A79T Deluxe. (one of my old PCs). Thanks.
