In a panic, I ordered a new motherboard and CPU. Craziness ensued, and it took two weeks for my package to arrive. Last Friday, I installed the new mobo\/CPU, but they didn&#8217;t seem to work. It was the same old problem: no video signal, and no sensible beep code from the motherboard. Yesterday, as I was contemplating returning the new motherboard and CPU, I decided to reinstall the old combo (because it was the most convenient way to store it) and on a whim I powered it up.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNaturally, it worked just fine.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo I&#8217;ve either got an extra motherboard\/CPU to tool around with, or I will have thrown $30+ away in useless shipping costs.
