Drivers are essentially software. You wouldn’t require a second machine. Simply install the latest drivers for your device. BIOS settings might be tricky, but you shouldn’t need extra hardware. Could you clarify what you mean by “access to your SSD”? Is it connected or something else?
I'm having trouble getting the computer to show anything, let alone start Windows. If I can't fix it, swapping out the motherboards might help—hopefully that won't cause issues with the graphics card. Unfortunately, I only have a $2000 paperweight instead of a working computer.
It might help to test the old motherboard with the original RAM to check functionality. If it works, the issue could be software-related or tied to new hardware. If not, the graphics card might be damaged or recent Windows updates could be the cause. The main concern is that a non-responsive screen can stem from many different problems, especially after recent changes.
I understand. It might be useful to note that after installing the new RAM in the old motherboard a few days ago, the system handled itself similarly—only the “VGA” debug light remained on, suggesting a problem with the graphics card. Once I removed the new RAM and installed one of my original sticks, the debug light still showed “VGA.” I plan to revert to the old RAM and attempt troubleshooting from there to determine if the issue lies with the memory or the card itself. I’m assuming the graphics card is faulty, but I don’t have other cards to test for confirmation.
