when you power the pc on do receive the normal bios beeps. do you see the bios load on the screen during post. what is your system specs. what graphics card do you have, is it onboard what happened previously to make this happen. i would first try reseating the graphics card, and possibly memory. if still no joy i would try another stick of ram, then possible a graphics card, if you have spares knocking about regards danzil

is it overheating in any way. check the cpu fan and heatsink, also your graphics card fan,make sure they are spinning freely of dust. have you also tried a different psu regards danzil ps what is your system spec, does it blue screen before rebooting

do you still have the stock card installed i thought it was an ati card installed. could be a fault in the card, mainly the ram. is it under warrenty. do games play at full res, with a decent frame rate. regards danzil
