SG Indy green screen, no boot up - Tom Rain - 01-09-2021

Hi everyone

I am new here, from Poland.
My problem is that years ago I have reached Indy. I bought 13W3 to VGA adapter from US and it was working fine.
My Indy has broken HDD but it show startup menu.
Yesterday I took it again cuz I wanted to set a new system on it. It starts but after 2 maybe 3 hours it the red led state solid, I have a jingle but on monitor it shows only green green.
The PSU is giving normal voltage values (3.3V, -12V, 5V, 12V).

What went wrong?

Thanks for any help

Regards,
Bart

Maybe you spotted it already, but according to the Indy owner's manual during power-on tests the solid red indicates "Graphics board, systemboard, or CPU module failure."

I have no any experience about this kind of issues, but I'd first suspect the graphics board as the jingle is still playing... Somebody here probably knows if Indy outputs debug info to serial port in such case. (I didn't quickly find this mentioned in the manual.)
