Can I get a VGA seperately or does that mean a new motherboard?

A new motherboard or a new lappy is the advice I got. Preferably the latter

PXE-E63: Error while initializing the NIC
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.

ok from the above info... it sims like ur pc is looking for a bootable device...i willl assume the following.

1. sometin has happened 2 d hard disk..maybe ur pc collided with something or fell on the ground and as a result shifted a little bit from the original position but i doubt dis 2 cos of the screws attached except they are broken (the holes o on which de rest)..

2.. ur hard disk is faulty and need to be replaced..

what i would suggest 2 u is dat u shud pres f2 2 enter setup and look for pc diagnostic and do a check on the hard drive if the pc still regcognize it.. it will report d status of the hard diskk if eventually it recognizes one.. its either its bad and need to be replaced or the check didnt see the hard drive.. if it doesnt see the hard drive den u ve 2 disassemble the laptop and replace it with another drive and den do a diagnostic test on the new drive..if the drive appears ok den u can go ahead and install windows..

dont worry about taking the hard drive apart many modern laptops allows u to take out the drive without actually opening the whole pc.. except say u de use junk box grin grin

Dont conclude yet that it is the VGA that has problems. Sometimes the RAM slots maybe dirty or you have a failing ram which is preventing the system from starting up normally. Sometimes it might be that you even have just a cd inside the rom that's preventing it from starting up. Take it to an engineer to check it out before concluding it has VGA problems. Even if it is VGA problems it got it can still be reflown.

Your adapter is bad. QED! Better buy a new one with the correct rating for your system before you damage your motherboard. It is either supplying higher than required voltage or less. I guess the system is a dell or acer.

In addition to what brightk wrote up there. If you tried all that before replacing the HDD do this.

I guess you moved the system around too much thereby displacing or unseating the Hard disk. Open the HDD compartment and place the hardisk well. try restarting and see if it works. Sometimes the MBR might be destroyed you might need to recreate a MBR or create new partition tables for the hardisk.

Hello onegig,

I have one question regarding genuine operating systems re-useability in another system. I have a windows XP genuine operating system running on one PC. I want to install the same operating system in another laptop of mine. Can I do that?
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Almaiga: 2:05pm On Jul 29, 2013
Hi computer gurus, need your help. I have some designs i did with the aid of Auto-CAD. The problem is that, for the past weeks i could'nt open all my saved designs. Any time i try to open the files the system would display this; "cannot find the specified drawing file. Please verify that the file exists".

Not possible unless you have the activation keys for the old system and the license is for multiple systems use else you have to buy a new key.

In a clearer language...if you license is like a 3 in 1 license that alows you to use the keys on more than one system then fine but if it is limited then forget it.

emmmillenium: try and connect external monitor to its VGA port, if the monitor works perfectly with it. Then its like you are having the same problem with my pc
the problem with the laptop is the screen, the inverter inside screen module always causes that kind of problem but my own laptop is mini and the screen is moduless, which means inverter is built inside the screen. I changed the screen and it came back to life
