[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1586928, member: 56379"] How did you determine this? Usually the best way to "do a diagnostic"...is to boot the computer from another source (such as an OS install DVD, original gray disks, another hard drive, etc.). In your original post you said that the computers video card was fried. If the gpu/video card is fried...how are you able to see anything on the computer display? Lastly...I need to know exactly what computer you have. You said you have a "Mac Pro". Is this a desktop computer or a laptop? Are you 100% sure that these original disks (they should be gray colored) came with THIS VERY computer? If they didn't...and they came with another computer...very likely they won't work. Again...like I mentioned above...if you truly had a "fried" gpu...you probably wouldn't be able to see anything or very much. So I also question the "fried gpu" theory. - Nick [/QUOTE]
