Hi there I have a rather old e-machine model e2464 when I switch it on I hear 1 short beep but nothing appears on the monitor. I removed the graphics card and switched on again, this time 1 beep the e-machines logo appeared on the monitor followed by a load of technical information.could my graphics card be faulty ? Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
Based on the info in your OP your add on GPU could be faulty but try putting it back in to see if the same problem happens, if it does then it more or less nails it on as being bad.
Thankyou for your response, yes same thing happens when I put it back in. Got a replacement card coming soon, so hopefully will cure the problem. Will keep you posted. Thanks again for your response most helpful
 
So I got my replacement graphics card, installed it but still no joy pc appears to be booting up but no images on the monitor. Any other suggestions as to what the problem is. Any help would be most welcomed
 
This is what happens when I power up without the card in

In addition to the above;

Note the checksum error and the time and date being wrong, you need to replace the CMOS battery.

Also tried repair my pc from.drop down menue but it require password to continue
 
The rate at which gas gets diffused is = to the rate at which gas gets densified, does this useless information help any, I suspect not, our professional tech assistance is provided for free here so please only do as is asked, alternatively, bring the PC into one of my workshops where we will willingly relieve you of £45 per hour for labour + the cost of any hardware replacements, your choice ;)
 
Mischief not sarcasm but however you take it the comment would not have been made if you had actually provided the requested info and done the suggested steps and then post any outcome so that people that were trying to help you could actually do so.

I hope that any other forum that you may post on has better luck extracting information from you than anyone here did. :(
