Alright so i have this older Gateway computer my friend gave me. Everything is here such as video card, ram, cpu etc etc. The only problem is when i plug it in it starts up but nothing pops up on screen. What are some POSSIBLE things wrong with it? You don't have to hit the nail on the head ill try 'em all. Also the CMOS light is 'red'. It doesn't boot up and make any beeps like it should so idk where to go.

Specs?

Pentium 4
Nvidia Geforce FX (AGP)
512mb Ram

Thats about all i know of it.


*UPDATE* Video card does not turn on. Original owner told me he tried other video cards but nothing prevailed. Broken motherboard?

if it doesnt post it's a hardware issue. That said, sounds like a broken mobo from your mate's description.
everything i write is a ramble and should not be taken seriously.... seriously.

Easily replaced if you can find a used PC warehouse that's still actually in business.
