Well, my computer is really getting funny.
So I want some help playing computer detective.
First the graphics card went out, so I bought a really cheap new one and everything worked fine.
Secondly the integrated ( on the motherboard ) network card stopped working. I bought a really cheap new one and everything is working.
The other day, the screen went was black but it sounded like the computer started up fine.... so I turned it off, carefully reinserted the graphics card and network card and voila it worked fine again.
Now yesterday for the first time the screen went black during use.... and the music it was playing stopped. Now when I start it up it sounds like starting up normal but screen is black.
After re-inserting the cards like I did last time it is still not working.
I am getting really tired of this machine.... but still I guess it would be a bit of a pity to trash it. Anyone have any guesses on what has gone wrong with it? Perhaps the MB is about to break ? or is it a powersupply problem causes components to break one after another or something else?
