Your motherboard/bios tells the video card to turn itself on/off. This particular model does it a little later than your old board did. If you can reboot and see more of your boot up sequence than on "power up", then this is the case. The the monitor would already had received its power on command and be ready to turn on than from cold state.
No. The GMA 3000 is integrated into the motherboard. Upgrading it would entail replacing the motherboard. If on a desktop machine, a better graphics card may be inserted into an expansion slot.
Some motherboards are extremely large and will not fit in some cases.. that can be an issue, though it will be immediately obvious. A more important check is that your parts will be compatible with the board which will simply require some quick research. Beyond that, there's nothing to worry about
Hardware and software - without either one, there would be no computer! A simplistic answer would be the motherboard and hard-drive, though without an operating system the monitor would be blank.
I would check the two power cables in the motherboard or I would check the display. Another thing to do is clear the CMOS on the motherboard, that may fix it. FYI What is "doesn't boot properly" these are answers if you don't see anything on the monitor.
I would recommend googling the the number on the old motherboard.
depends on the motherboard, but average would be 4gb.
A abit LG-957 motherboard would be best for a graphic designer.
modem ^ original answer. My vote would be the video card. Most "modems" are going to be embedded.
you would want to change your motherboard basically why i want to..is that you bought a PCI-express card but your motherboard doesnt support that.or you want a faster processor that your old motherboard doesnt support. hope this info helps.
Depending on it's size, it would likely have either an ATX or microATX motherboard.
you would have to consider if there are other hardware upgrades that would have to be done as a result for instance if you have a motherboard with ddr ram but the new motherboard has ddr2 you would have to by new ram same with power supply and even hard drives
It depends on what you are doing in terms of "upgrading". The first question would be upgrading to what? Or simply extending the bus structure? Justification also consists of budgeting, costs, personnel training, and other factors.
