I tried it on 2 different computers both with working PSU's that were powering a 4870hd and a 260gtx.

I upgraded from a evga 8800gts 320mb about a year ago and it was working fine. From there I put it in my new graphics card box and it has been sitting in my closet ever since. I tried hooking it up to another computer but for some reason the monitor is getting no signal. The fan on the graphics...

I just moved into a 5200sq ft house and am about 15ft vertically and about 20ft horizontally away from a D-Link DIR-655 XTreme Draft-N Gigabit Router I have always tried to stay away from wireless connections because I have always had bad experiences of random "farts". I use the PC primarily...

Are you sure? A 430 watt thermaltake isn't enough to power a: amd 3800+ x2 k8n neo4 ddr1 mb 2gb pc3200 generic corsair ram ati x800 gto 256mb

So I decided to build a PC out of older parts for my friend. Basically, the PC starts up for a second then shuts down. I figured out the problem was occurring in either the PCI slot or the graphics card(x800 gto). I haven't used the graphics card for a while and I am pretty sure I had it...
