| A few things, it could be the video, power supply or ram OR something else.
If you haven't yet. remove and replace the video card. Then try unplugging your power supply for 30 minutes, to let the power drain from it.
Remove all but one stick of ram. Then swap sticks, if you have others, use those.
If your motherboard has onboard video, take the card out and use that.
Otherwise, remove each component one by one.
Oh long island huh? I'm going there for a wedding Thru-Sat. |
