PC running but no image on monitor.

WTA u guys something related to hardware problems.
could a loose/improper graphic card insertion can cause a pc running but no image on the monitor?
all the parts on the pc are connected just fine including the monitor itself.
I corrected the insertion of the GC and the problem was sorted out. is this some kind of a sign of disaster waiting to happen or I'm the one getting paranoid?

Hi, like some other problems other people had mine was a bit different.
My pc sometimes can be turn on and enter BIOS/POST and then OS then everything is fine. But whenever I restart due to updates or anything, the system restarted but there's just blackout although the lights and the fans on Mobo, GC and chassis all turning.

I tried pulling out parts every parts one and by one and doing some test as well but the same thing keeps happening. Occasionally, it would get stuck on BIOS and won't enter POST or OS or blackout. Right now, the only thing that keeps the thing going is that I have to turn the power off and back on. Sometimes I can turn it back on immediately to normal or it would enter blackout with everything is running.

could it be bad caps or faulty wires? or just bad BIOS? please help

UPDATE: could a faulty HDD be doing all this? -.-

X360 Disc Drive

Hey guys, I've got a xbox360 console for quite a while and got it x-clamp around this year. After that it's been working fine and now got a new problem.

My Disc Drive is dead. I can't play any DVD or Games no matter what solution the Microsoft Support have. By that, I think the DVD-ROM is broken.

Any solution to that?

ps: got it x-clamped by Virgil and it's working fine till now. Can't RMA either.

Problem with GPU or PSU

erm..
i got a Palit HD4870 Sonic which got RMA not too long ago after a breakdown in which I think cause by a electrical short.
I coupled it with a
Asus M3A78-T board , ST56F Psu and AMD 9550 X4 processor and some other standard stuffs like KVR RAMs and SATA HDDs.

I got a problem relating to auto-shutdown after getting it RMA about two weeks ago.
This usually happens while playing high setting games and suddenly causes a blackout which I can reboot the system after switching off the plugs and leave it for a couple of secs and then I can turn it back on.
Is this gotta have to do with the GPU not enuf juice or the RMA'ed Palit HD4870???
my first guess would be the voltage or temp
but is this normal??

Auto Shutdown

mrmagic21 — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:09:57 +0800

Well, I've been playing Crysis and COD4 online for awhile until I've got this problem..

Ever since I'm playing hard games like COD4 and Crysis, my computer just shut down by itself after a half an hour or even just after few minutes of playing. I've tried monitoring heat temperature but its normal. PSU, more than cukup makan for my HD4870 and AMD X4 proc. It can be reboot again after I on-off the computer plug and I've never got this problem with my HD3850 but got this problem instead with my HD4870. I've tried also to lower the resolutions and settings for both games to the lowest as possible and it still happens.

Can anyone figure out what's wrong??

ps: my Palit HD4870 Sonic just got warrantied and I think that might be the problem but I think not and my system can play COD4 and Crysis at high resolution and settings.
