    hehe… well I would try to give it a clean, but it is locked in place with some metal thing which I cant undo… bloody mesh!

    I didnt get time to try out the onboard graphics last night… would I have to disable the card in the bios or something first – as I couldnt see how to do that, and there is no way I can see that I can take the card out…

    Ta

    You probably need to enable the onboard graphics and take the card out.

    Probably is the serial port then… perhaps it doesnt have onboard graphics…

    Will check the RAM chips tomorrow

    Ta Muchly guys

    Random question – If I shove an old geforce card in to my pc which now has an ati card (and drivers) on it… would it work?

    Take all but one out try to boot….. Try them all like that..

    My pc would not boot just like yours a few weeks ago… It was 1 ram chip desided to go tits up.

    Just to check…surely if the ram is dodgy, nothing will show up on the screen at all, I would just get beeps from the mobo? (Check me out with this computer wizardry lark!)

    nah, the bios only does a quick check
    there is a setting to do a more advanced check in the bios, i think you disable the fast boot option. if you have 2 stick, remove one then the other, a knackerd viddy fan should be ok to get you on desktop, just not games.

    Well without breaking it anymore than it already is, I moved them about a bit, took one out then other, then tried them in different bays, and it still does the same thing. Even tried removing the sound and network card to see if they were at fault… its looking more and more like a graphics issue.

    Ive been sent some silly stickers to stick on it and send it off… just dont know how long it will take ๐Ÿ™

    on the plus side, I am selling my laptop for about รƒฦ’ร†โ€™รƒยขรขโ€šยฌร…ยกรƒฦ’รขโ‚ฌลกรƒโ€šร‚ยฃ300, so might get an extra gig and a better GPU for it… would be great if its the gpu thats broken – would get a very cheap upgrade… I think!

    Could I stick any old AGP graphics card in (from ATI), to get it to work (if ofcourse it is the graphics card that is the problem)…

    Like this one?

    2x run another voltage, it would trash your mobo.

    4x and up i think ๐Ÿ™‚
