Ok, I have already made my assumptions, would just like a little feedback to see what everyone else thinks.
I have an IBM compatible (no brand name) server. On boot, sometimes it won't put power to the monitor during the bios screens. This is an intermittant problem. Sometimes it boots fine, more often than not, it doesn't.
Steps I've taken:
Pulled out everything but the video card...same issue.
Changed video cards...same issue.
Sent it to the computer shop, they switched video cards, said it ran fine.
They also found that the CPU's weren't matched...bought two new CPU's, got it back to the office...same issue.
It has dual power supplies so I made sure I was running on a UPS...same issue.
The only thing I have left is a bad mainboard. Just ticks me off that it worked fine for them at the shop (and they had it a week!), get it back and it does the same thing.
