    Major OS problem

    Unfortunately there's no VC++ redistributable to be seen in "Uninstall or change a program". I tried uninstalling the last couple of weeks of windows updates and rebooting, but no luck.

    Major computer problems

    Well I've just checked and the motherboard is out of warranty, so I'll have to buy a new one. I don't intend to upgrade my cpu/ram for at least a year so with that in mind, is there any reason to go with a more expensive motherboard than this one?

    Major computer problems

    Well that would mean that the power supply has actually been damaged by strain, as it's not working even with a really basic graphics card. I do have a spare 400w psu, I'll have a go with that.
