I plan on selling my Q6600 and 8800GT, so I took them out of the DS3R, and replaced them with an E2180 and GeForce MX420, to hold me over. I turn it on, goes to the POST screen, but just stays there. Keyboard doesn't respond, so I can't get into the BIOS. I cleared the CMOS twice, and I got the same result.

I then put the Q6600 back, and it booted fine. Only problem is, every time it gets to the log screen or desktop area, it reboots unexpectedly.

What could be the problem?
 
I must of forgotten the model number, but it's a PCI card. But I know it's an MX something.

So, any ideas to my problem?
 
I'm sure the RAM is OK, because it was working a few minutes ago. But I'll do that. Thanks.
 
Did you set in the BIOS under Init display first-> PCI ?
Another thing, did you cleared CMOS taking out the battery, shorting the pins and off course power plug out from the PSU ?
