This one has me stumped at the moment.

Kid No. 2 watching Internet TV....screams that the screen has gone blue but sound OK and program still running.

Screen error 'No Connection' Removed Graphics card, go to onboard VGA.

Getting picture now, computer extremely slow. Check Systems which revealed no real driver for VGA controller. OK...I can live with that.

Computer real slow on startup..."ASUS Express Gate" seems to be the blocker. Tells me to download latest. Interweb suggests this is common response to many a problem.

Go into BIOS and get the following:
Vcore......1.176 (Blue)
3.3v......3.424(Blue)
5v........0.000(Red)
12v.......12.513(Blue)

I've never seen the font type of the Bios in red, it's always in blue.

So....whats fried? :eek: M/B or CPU?

Computer overclocked by 10%, but has been since new 2 - 3 years ago.

check the 5v and 12v rails on the power supply with a multimeter...

Ok...this is educational :(

Checked all voltages at the plug connection at the M/B. All voltages are OK according to the information provided on the power supply, give or take a few .00v.
