Recovering On-Board Video Card

Is it really the problem is you’re on board video card? Have you tried to test some other parts of your Motherboard?

Some Motherboards are silent on errors during power on self test (POST) particularly on on-board video adapter card. On board video adapter cards also share a memory from your RAM (Random Access Memory) module. If the RAM get busted your on board video adapter card also affected.

Now, before we begin troubleshooting your motherboard, please do a research for the beep codes that represents your BIOS (Basic Input Output System) or the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semi Conductor). Your BIOS or CMOS name is readable on the chipsets inside your motherboard. More often the BIOS chipset can be found near the battery.

Begin disconnecting all the peripherals inside your computer. Disconnect everything but not the power supply connected into the Motherboard.

Power on your computer and wait for the beep codes. If you can’t hear anything, the problem might be the processor or the BIOS. Basically BIOS is the initialization of your operating system, POST is one of its process and if no indication of a beep from that moment, it means the BIOS is dead. But we must remember that all things must be processed under the Processor. Therefore processor is also our suspect. No need to explain what to do next.

In case you hear a beep codes after disconnecting everything (remember everything these includes the memory modules.), you have the problem in your memory module. Try cleaning the memory by erasing the dirt on the pins and install then repeat the method. If you hear beeps then replace the memory module.

On board video adapter doesn’t required to disable on the BIOS if you want to install a Video Card. All you need to do is to plug-in the video card then connect your monitor. Just be sure that the video card you have purchased is compatible with your Motherboard.
