This thread started in the power supply forum because I thought I had a bad power supply (which I probably did) But I have yet to kick it, so i'm looking for more opinions
when I start my computer when it reaches the windows xp start screen this is what I see:
it will look like that then windows will boot normally.
however sometimes windows will not boot normally and the entire "windows" screen will look like that.
I replaced the power supply hoping it would fix it, it didn't.
I have also replaced the Graphics card, and my RAM.
all that remains from the original system is the Motherboard and Hard drives.
system is as follows:
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L
CPU: Intel Q6600
RAM: 2GB OCZ Platinum DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
Graphics Card: ASUS EN9600GT GeForce 9600 GT 512MB
Power Supply: OLD:APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500W ATX
NEW: Corsair 550tx
Hard drives: 2 7200RPM sata drives
Other: DVD R/W, 7 in 1 card reader, 2 120mm fans, Hyper TX2 CPU cooler
