I have an MS9158E Mainboard. this computer has been a real workhorse. Today, it did not post on the monitor. Change monitor did not help. Did not post on network either. Do I need a new mother board? or is there more trouble shooting I can do. Did not change a new video card yet. Thank You for your help David

Remove the Power connection. Open the CPU Cabinet, Locate The RAM, remove the RAM by Sliding both Clips, Insert it Back to same Slot or another. Try to boot it again, if still same problem then, Change the Graphics Card with New one. If still have the problem then only Replace the Motherboard. Best of luck
I recommend removing the ram and listen for an error beep. If the error beep does not happen then that means it is the motherboard, if it does happen then move on to the next step.
If you have onboard graphics then you can try unplugging from your video card and using the onboard graphics, this will tell you if there is a possible problem with either the video card or the socket for the video card. if it works try using a different video card also. If the new video card does not work either but onboard does then that means the socket on the motherboard is fried, if it does work then you found a faulty video card and problem solved. I hope this has been helpful.
