    Reduced Capability, Primarily Video II

    For phillpower2 - Now my apologies. Thought you had concluded support. I was out 1400 miles from computer supporting 94 yr old mother in law last 3 weeks. (Dang Kansas is a big state to drive through). I have a new PSU on order. Is your last guidance still applicable? Sincerely appreciate all your help!

      Not really a crash, I have not been able to move beyond Safe Mode since the start of the issue. I’ve now:
      • replaced video card
      • replaced PSU
      • reset BIOS
      • attempted to download appropriate video card driver multiple times, which by all indications downloads and installs without issue. However PC will not recognize card and I get either a black screen or frozen Microsoft loading logo.
        So I’m thinking its maybe a motherboard issue(?). Can I get a MB for an old HP p6340f?

        that Pegatron motherboard seems to be readily available, used of course. search for IPIEL-LA3
        those Socket 775 gen boards are quiet old now. might be worth getting a new gen board, and CPU.
        any standard ATX motherboard should fit in that case.
        your case seems to have all the correct front panel, USB, fan, and power connectors that a new board will have.

            the parts you have already replaced will go into a new rig if you go down that path.
            guess that’s the stage you are now at - preserve with the current rig or upgrade!

                closing.
                PM any staff member if you need it re-opened.
