I'm running the specs in my sig (since February last year). The only change since then has been a replacement A8N Deluxe a couple of months ago, as the last one got fried when I was changing a chipset fan. Now the new A8N still has the old style chipset fan, and I don't think it's spinning, but that's no problem.
Basically, the computer was on 24/7 for a few months, but I have recently started turning it off more, as I have no need to keep it on. So turned it off last night about 1ish as normal, and when I turned it on this morning I found that it didn't succesfully POST. The monitor went into power saving mode and I got the VGA error POSTmessage ("System failed VGA test"). Now I've done nothing abnormal, just turned it on and this happened...anyone have any ideas? I haven't really done much tinkering yet...I took the side of the case off, gave the inside a dust, checked the 6800GT (the fan was spinning properly, and it seemed it good order). I also checked if it was seated properly, which it was. Now I'm kinda confused as to what's gone wrong here... is this a common problem?
Advice needed! Do you think simply resetting the CMOS would help? (I doubt it but want to get this working again!)
Cheers,
Ross.
