Last night I went to play some WoW and my computer froze at the load screen. I couls move the mouse around though as normal. I right clicked and my mouse jumped to the center of the screen. I chose to alt tab out and when doing so my monitors(dual view on 7900gtx) changed to the same view on both monitors with graphics corruption and what appeared to be 800x600 resolution. I was able to shut down my programs I had running and attepmted to reboot.

Upon doing so my computer now hangs at the MB bios start screen. No beeps, no getting into the actual bios nothing but lights showing I turned the power on. Also my dvd drive upon this attempted reboot opened halfway then closed. :confused:

I didn't have time to troubleshoot last night so I'll be doing that once I get off work today. Any idea's?

Thanks as always.

I checked your sig, but it didn't list the power supply you're using... so?

Try as many of the troubleshooting steps listed in the GenHard FAQ/sticky as you can. (I know that you won't be able to do everything, since you're currently having problems getting past the POST screen.)
 
Sorry about that, I currently have a Corsiar 450w PSU. Only used it for about 6 months as my Antec Phantom 500 died on me after a few years. Thanks.

Which monitors -- and their resolutions -- are you using?

(I can't think of anything, at first glance, that could cause this issue... maybe you could give us more information after you try troubleshooting this evening?)
 
Will do luckily I have a diff computer I can use to help research while I pick apart the old one. lol :)

Monitors are an old Dell 18 ultrasharp 12x10 and a Soyo 24" widescree in 19x12. Both of those are thier native resolutions.

This also happened last week but I was away from home and running disk defrag and returned to find it as is but was able to reboot and a reload of nVidia drivers seemly fixed the display problems I had except 1. Popup check boxes and the like wouldnt open on my main monitor, they would open on my secondary monitor for some reason. hadn't figured out how to fix it, tried several things but none worked.

Thanks again, I'll of course post what I try to do to fix it later this evening. Thanks.

The first and easiest thing to do I did, reset the CMOS to default after removing the battery and it appears fine and dandy. Only using 1 monitor at the moment though and haven't tried with dual view yet.

Any idea's what could be going on? My 3.5 OC on the 8400 maybe? Strange things going on me thinks. Thanks.
