My System

30 pound paperweight...ever seen this ?

Hey everybody !

Been signed up for a few days now trying to resolve issue by reading posts , but no luck , guess time to ask about my problem .

Recently finished first build , was a great learning experience and seems the "learning" isnt over :) ... OK , computer specs should be listed near my name on post if I set this up corectly . Was having some sporatic crashes in first month , just out of the blue , kinda deals . Got a few "recovering from overcloacking" messages (swear I never messed with any of that stuff, is over my head and I can respect that) Or , the thing would just shut off , like someone yanked the plug out of the wall . Weird , undefinable stuff .

Well , put new video card in , and all hell broke loose . Added nvidia 7300 pci-e . Things were running great , playing great new video game , loving the new graphic upgrade , and no less than 8 hours later , the sysyem was not sending any video signal to the moniter . Have read alot on this topic on TSF , and followed many of the suggested tips and checks . Motherboard LED still on , fans spinning , can hear harddrive spinning , dvd has power . Everything seems fine with the computer , no "beep" at start up , no "flash" from keyboard either . Just no video , from the 7300 pci-e or , an old 6200 pci card (working) .
