Optiplex 780 SFF no POST

I'm guessing the graphics card is integrated on an SFF.

[danno]

@rojoloco Yes, it is integrated. I don't have a pci express to test, but I am not sure if it will post anyway with the video error.

Reseat the minimum amount of memory, see what it does.

DMA initialization failure

[danno]

@scottalanmiller Tried that. Also cleared cmos. No change. Still black screen, high fan speed, solid green power light, and indicator 2 and 4 lit.

[Reid Cooper]

Do you have anything plugged into that box that could be removed? Any extra cards, USB or anything like that? If so, remove them.

If not, likely the mobo is dead.

[danno]

@reid-cooper Nothing else plugged in.

[Reid Cooper]

I think that likely the desktop is just dead, then. unless you can acquire a replacement motherboard, of course.

[danno]

@reid-cooper I tend to agree. I will look for something.

[Reid Cooper]

Probably worth retiring that box. How old is it?

[danno]

@reid-cooper I think its a 2013. I use(d) it for a ltsp server.

Not ancient, but might be time to retire it.

@reid-cooper Maybe I can find a cheap mobo and give it a few more years. Thanks for the insight!

[Reid Cooper]

Possible, if you can find one cheaply.
