So, what now? Take my pc to a pc repairman? Do it myself without the tools needed? Im so lost...and frustrated...just 3 weeks ago, my computer was just fine

:(

Tried to put my old video card in and it wont boot at all. No status message, nothing. Tried putting the new card in and its still not giving anything anymore. :\

ok, did as said and my computer beeped. I cannot use any cdrom drives ( i have three on that computer) tried to check one at a time and none of them would let the computer start up and start BIOS. I plugged everything in the back of the computer, and it went back to the usual...not starting...

Took the battery out for about 15 mins, reseated the sound card, video card, and ram. Still no go. Started the computer up and heard the grinding noise again. Thinking maybe, the hard drive? Could a hard drive make all this happen?

Ok, be gentle Felix, Im not a computer nub, but im not an expert, need more info on the battery. How long would be some time? overnight? hour? thirty mins? I will try your suggestion in hopes I will at least be able to boot up. At least then I might could do some stuff on the comp until the big...

P.S. Ya know how the computer will beep when starting up? A single beep. My computer doesnt even give that single beep anymore. Since nothing has changed with the two video cards, to me, that doesnt seem to be the problem. And since I really dont think its a driver problem, to me if it was a...

I would gladly try your suggstion Felixc, but I cannot boot my computer at all. It starts up, all fans running, the cpu thinks for about 15 or so seconds and then stops...nothing else happens. Monitor or keyboard dont even turn on.

Power supply is 400. Plenty for what Im running. You have to remember, this computer has ran for a year or more with everything as is. Its only seen two different video cards. The one I tried out and the one I just bought like a month ago. Could it be the power supply going bad? If so, How...

I switched my old video card and my computer still isnt working. I cant get to windows, so i couldnt uninstall the drivers for a new video card. Resolutions for all games/full screen programs is 1280x1024. That is also the resolution for my desktop. Its standard for my monitor (19 inch) I think...

Ok, Just to be clear on what is going on with my computer. At first, I could turn my computer on. It would turn off and make a weird noise through my headset. (like a computer sounds when it crashes...high pitched sound) At first, it didnt say anything about the viewmeter status. It just turned...

P.S. Normal for my monitor was around a 60 on both sides for frequencies.

OK, my computer wont even start up now.... Im on my laptop. OK, I play wow all day yesterday, worked fine. Then, I go to desktop and like 30 seconds later...crash. The monitor did give me some info when it crashed last time. Here is the info the monitor was reading out: User Mode 15 FH 00.1...

Yesterday, I played WoW for a very long time. It worked fine the whole time. Then, I come out to my desktop and like 5 mins later, the monitor turns off as said above. Yes, windows knows its a Viewsonic E90fb. I have nortons antivirus and firewall, so shouldnt be a virus.

I havent done anything but the usual. I was running a game in windowed mode, but changed it to full screen. It hasnt messed up today, but that doesnt mean its fixed. I play World of Warcraft and thats about all I do on this, that and browse the web. Another thing I did notice last night or the...
