Okay..
so i am not sure where to put this but this computer has haunted me since the day the hardware was assembled.
i am running a 780i mobo with intel core 2 quad Q9550, 9800gx2, 1000w modular spi pwr supply, 4gb ballistix ddr2, windows xp 32
here is the thing, i have built several systems before never had so much as a pin setting problem. this system i got the hardware home, assembled it all, got a light on the mobo and nothing. after some playing around discovered it was a faulty mobo took all parts back to the company i bought them from they did their inspection to find the mobo faulty, ordered and replaced, the hd was ticking ><, they replaced that too, the second one they put in was also faulty. so they put another one in finaly got windows installed, i got it home. installed fallout three. at first i was getting sound fluctuation, updated sound drivers all was well, fallout keep freezing (this is a common problem with fo3) after getting annoyed installed c&c ra3 to play, got sound, but just a black screen. after checking all my drivers to be updated still had problems..took it into a different shop then prior they tested all hardware said was all stable, rolled back the drivers, and said all was well. both places charged 175 for repairs so ive spent not only 2500 on the whole system but 350 on repairs, i can no longer afford more. i got it home from this shop, and its the same problems..also youtube videos will not expand, if i hit the button my screen freezes until i ctrl-alt-del out. and my speakers (which work completely fine on old pc) have a really annoying loud interferance
i am about ready to take it to the shop i bought parts, cut my losses and tell them to buy the parts back. and ill make up for "usage" cost
please, if you have ANY advice at all HELP!?!
*cries*
