Hi,

 

I have a PC where the video died (MB / CPU unknown) after a power cord came loose and arced and destroyed the PSU. This has now been replaced and originally I could at least ping the PC on it's IP address. I have now not powered up the PC for some months and it looks like it may have lost its settings as it no longer sets up the IP address.

 

What I wan to do is to power up some kind of OS via CD that will allow me to connect via ethernet without any local keyboard / mouse intervention as I cannot see what is being displayed.

 

What I am hoping for is - put CD in drive, power up PC, connect somehow (ssh?) to PC and perhaps set up Remote Desktop Connection or TeamViewer (ideally).

 

Anybody had any experience of doing this?

 

Ta.

So the Power Supply was nuked?

Do you have a cheap video card laying around or that you can borrow to be able to install?

What exactly is the final resolution you are trying to get to?
