dead integrated video
 |
I have a dead integrated video on my emachine. Since it is dead I can't get into the bios to disable the video.... hence I can't add a video card because it won't work! Anything I can do to disable it??

Reset your cmos battery on the motherboard to make sure that it is truely dead and not just a mis setting in the bios. (ie. pull out the battery for 10-15 seconds and hold down the power button on the front of the case).

I already put in a new power supply because it wouldnt power up at all. Now all I get is a gray screen with little lines in it no matter what I do. I have hooked up another computer and the monitor is working fine then. •

Do you have a graphics card that you can put in? The bios may recognize it enough to get you into the bios so you could disable integrated graphics. I believe it is only the operating system that needs the integrated graphics disabled for a graphics card to work. I think if you put in a graphics card you might be alright. Or, you could buy a new motherboard off ebay or something.
Ya I tried the graphics card already... no luck. I guess it is off to ebay or someplace to look for another MB. Thanks so much for the help. Oh BTW you are in Crystal Lake and I am in Elgin!!
Small world huh? Thanks again!
