I realize, that this might be not the very best place to ask about this, but probably somebody else had any similar experience. I had my computer staying idle for a while (with Win95 running at that moment). After a while it blanked the screen, and since that it never came up again. I tried: rebooting, unplugging everything... I tried to use a different (CGA-ISA instead of VGA-PCI(Trident) ) card and a different monitor.... I have NO image on any display at any time... I am thinking it must be the motherboard (some chip died, or smth. similar), but may be somebody has a clue what else can be tried ? Thanks. IgoR
