Hah alright now the comp is not booting up! =[

Alright just for my bros sake i restored the onboard drivers just so he can use it for temp use.. uninstalled the old drivers for the other 2 graphics cards and set up the default setting for everything computer was running great all night booted up and shut down 3 times with no problems. This morning b4 i got up donno what exactly what happend but now the pc will boot but no responce from the HD(nothing) nor the monitor(yellow light) and i can boot it down by holding down the power buttion. when i booted it down just to make sure its not anything that i can see wires loose or what not.. unpulgging the power cable from the tower checked a few things nothing seemed to be wrong at all, same set up. now when i go to plug back in the power cable it boots itself up everytime after. The prossesor fan running at a high RPM the whole time.
now im thinking the problem might actully be the motherboard.
if i can get any feed back this would be great! thanks again sorry didnt get a chance to try what u suggested =\ from the last post!

I think that you should get someone local to help you through this - unless you are confident that you can do it yourself.

I suspect that you may be right about the motherboard.

Did you take all precautions as regards static electricity when working inside the case?

But before replacing the motherboard - try the hard drive in another computer and another computer's hard drive in this one. I say this because you said there was nothing from the hard drive and they do fail occasionally.

Obviously if the HD works in another computer then it is the motherboard and vice versa if another HD works in your computer. This will allow you to identify which component is faulty. I still think you are right about the MB though.

Hope you haven't thrown away those Video Cards! They might both be good.

Good luck.

Blank Screens and Bad Moods

If the PC boots without the video card, then it has an onboard card. Try checking BIOS and make sure display is set to onboard card. It is a good chance the drivers are already loaded. Even if they are not you should default display settings, Like 256 colors and 800x600 resolution.

My wireless network adapter is causing blue=screens i do not know how to uninstall a driver that i cant see without the adapter in. My comp does not boot windows to be able to manage devices before crash...

Alright, here's a potential solution for you:

1) Take the wireless adapter out of your computer.

2) Open the Control Panel, then click System, then access the Device Manager.

3) Click View, and then Show Hidden Devices.

4) The wireless card should be visible under the Network Adapters heading, and it probably has some icon on it to tell you there's a problem (the problem is you took the card out).

5) Right-click on the device and select Properties.

6) Uninstall the driver.

Also, some drivers show up in the Programs and Features (formerly Add/Remove Programs) menu in the Control Panel, so that's another possible way to remove the driver. Good luck!

When i turn on the comp the boot up screen works but then it is blue and i cant do anything tryed it in safe mode and its fine still when turn on normal after boot screen all there is is blue

Try safe boot, but this time, select System Restore and pick a date before the problem started. You probably have a driver conflict (a system update or software installation is incompatible with the rest of the system).

Cant boot up compy with new graphics card to reinstall drivers

if you have an older graphic card swap it out with the new or if u have onboard video use it as your video. Once you boot up uninstall the nvidia drivers and turn off pc. Now reinstall the new card and install the drivers from the CD or the new ones from the nvidia site. Dont use the windows device manager.

No sound for videos, no system restore

Hi!
Boot to safe mode using F8 and tap it from initial start until safe mode opens. (If using Microsoft)!
Remove all sound drivers.
You did not say if it was an onboard sound or aeperate.
Once you delete the drivers in control panel/sounds, you can them get new ones.
Let me know asap please.

Sound cards

If you have onboard audio, Go to Bios setup at the boot by pressing Del key / F2 key and restore defaults (May be F9 key). Reboot your PC & install the drivers for your audio device from the motherboard CD.

If you have seperate audio card, try changing the card..
