Basically my computer at first would crash every 24 hrs or so, due to blue screen.
Then it would crash more often, but it would only reboot after the crash like 1/10 times, the rest of the time the display wouldnt display.
Then it would do the same thing but after one crash, it go to where my desktop shouldve been and just totally artifaced.. black horizontal lines everywhere.
I posted here, and someone suggested that it could be the powersupply just crapping out and messing up the voltages, so I ditched my dell PS and installed a brand new, good 430watt PS
After I install everything it boots on the first try...then when it gets pasted the windows booting screen it gives me the screen with the black horizontal lines then crashes.
So now I know its not a PS problem, i probably needed a new PS anyway, so its all good.
Im thinking its a combination of a the mobo and/or my videocard.
Mobo could be messing up the boot, explaining why most of the time it doesnt boot in one try..
Video Card being fried would explain artifacing..
What do you guys think it is?
