So I have my little sisters computer here... it's an old amd64 custom rig... nothing special about it. I can start the machine up, but it wont display a picture on screen. I tried onboard and 2 3rd party cards... neither did anything so she just went and got a laptop.

It's been sitting in my computer area collecting dust for the past year and I want to get it running again. I've tried swapping out 2 video cards, making sure all the connections were tight, tried swapping ram, tried swapping PSU's, etc and nothing seems to work.

does anyone have any ideas? It sounds like it's running/booting up... it just wont display a picture.

ironically enough, my older sisters machine did the same thing... it's also sitting here (old emachine). I've tried swapping parts between the two, hoping to get 1 working machine out of it but no luck yet.

has anyone ever had an issue like this? It's got me stumped
