|
 |
Hey people.
So about 4 days ago my computer died on me. I was using it in the evening and shut it down, having noticed no problems beforehand.
Then my girlfriend turned it on after I went to bed but couldn't get it to display anything. So when I got home I opened it up and took out all of the memory sticks out and found one of them to be faulty.
System seemed fine, allthough I did notice one thing. I tried downloading a file and before it would complete firefox would stall. I tried closing the program down a couple of times until deciding to wait it out and it completed.
Then having only used it to surf after the memory sticks died on me I decided to watch some comedy. Well after watching a couple of minutes some vertically blue lines pop'd up, maybe 10 of them. The picture disappeared but the sound continued. I did a hard reboot and the system came back up.
but as the vista logo came up while loading the lines came back and the system died.
Now I was unable to get the system up again. Tried all the memory sticks again, but none of them produced anything different. I threw in a spare gfx card and the system again booted. So everything appears normal.
But I'm a little worried about keeping the system running. What if it fries another graffix card.
Any of you got any surgestions as to what could be the culprit? Am I just looking at a random piece of bad luck or could it be that the motherboard or power supply has gone bad and killed random pieces of hardware?
I'm typing this on a notebook and haven't touched my main rig since it went nuts.
any thoughts would be great.

I had a similar problem with freezing and crashing, and it turned out to be the motherboard. If you have guarantee dump it in the service, and let them figure it out 
If you don't... well I don't know then

well, I do have a guarantee for all of the hardware, but it is a homebuilt system and the parts are ordered from different suppliers. I do think that something could be wrong with the mobo. But how do I isolate the problem without spending a fortune in parts?

Depending on who the mobo is made by and which country you live in, it might not matter. Send it back to the manufacturer directly for a replacement.

Well.. Ended up replacing the ram, motherboard and graffix card. So far so good. Been running 3 days now and haven't encountered any problems. Bought the ram and motherboard.
The graffix card was replaced with a better model. The place where I bought it wanted to replace it with a 9800 GT card. But as far as I know that card isn't quite on par with the 8800GTX at higher resolutions so I paid a little(90$) to get a 260 GTX instead.
Thanks for the replies!
