Does your mobo have on board graphics? How do you know the update didn't knock you back to that? You said everything is normal other than the screen?

i dont know whats what i know it doesnt have onboard graphics no where to plug in any kind of video display

i power up the computer the green light bulb on the mother board lights up so does the lil blue led on the front of the comptuer all the fans are spinning but there is 0 display not the motherboard logo not the windows logo just my blank monitor

and gaming isnt just a hobby for me its all i have for myself to do my life is 24/7 baby sitting and running errands with an hour or 2 here and there to kick back and enjoy something so yeah i do NEED to game or watch videos listen to music

thing to i keep thinking bout these local guys its such a small town i dont know how to tell if anyone is reputable

if its the power supply maybew some sort of voltage tester would work?

i've pulled out the cpu it was clean and i put it back in

the only way to know is if you put the processor in another motherboard and run it. if it doesn't run its the processor if it does run its the motherboard. the likelihood of you getting two motherboards with bad sockets is near impossible. its not the power supply if you get powered up that far where it is trying to post.

Stupid as it sounds id start small an check an make sure all wires are plugged in properly. I think an easy way to start would be to plug the monitor in to the laptop which hopefully is capable. If you can and it does not turn on you have found your problem. You know its not the vid card, ram normally gives you an error. When your. Computer turns on do your fans spin louder than normal?

Then go to the library and get a book.

Also, when you said your CPU was clean, did you mean that there wasn't even thermal paste on it?

Moving, where do you live and what motherboard and processor do you have? Maybe someone's nearby that has a compatiable setup to test with?

As for the CPU, see Moving's post on that one:http://www.teamplayergaming.com/pc-h...mal-paste.html

I'm a bit concerned if there was NO thermal paste on it. Could have cause issues with the CPU. However, depending on the CPU, it should throttle if it's over heating. Hmmm, now I need to do some research to see.

*/its colder then fuck in my house so no over heating i always used to check that this dell i'm using has a pentium 2 and it looks intgrated so i dont think i can pop it out to check with a swap i'm most likely gonna take it to some place in town but i'd like to eliminate as many problems as possible i was thinking maybe the power connector i plugged in but i dont think therd be an issue if the new cards fans are spinning

Are the leds just lighting up or are they blinking? Is the hard drive cycling? Are you sure the monitor is good?
