No BIOS, no video after ubuntu updates
- by chubbysilk
Hello,
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Precision T3500 Desktop machine. Last week, when I ran the regular updates, upon restart my video disappeared. I could not even see the Dell startup screen or enter the BIOS.
When I swapped out the video card (for an older one I had around), the system worked again. So Dell sent me a replacement video card. I put that in and everything appeared to be working again.
Then, I ran updates again, and the same thing happened. Replacement video card appears to be broken. No startup messages, no BIOS, no video at all.
Does anyone know how Ubuntu updates might be ruining the video cards?
The card that keeps "breaking" is an FirePro MV2260.
Thanks,
RC
