Hey guys,
I have a really stupid dilema on my hands. My brothers computer started acting funny a few months ago, so he gave it to me to fix. The screen was always kinda screwy with lines through everything. I replaced the motherboard and reinstalled windows (after reaplacing mobo, it wouldnt load windows all the way). Then it was fixed.
I took his geforce 4 ti4200 to test out in my computer because i wanted to run dual monitors on it, not just on 2 video cards like i'm doing now. I put it in my computer, and i updated the video drivers, and continued to put it to dual monitors (extend desktop to his monitor). When i did this, everything went down hill. The screens were flipped, and then whenever i like right clicked or opened IE or something, it would go really really slow. Then, boom, it flickered a bunch of colors and a bunch of lines through the screen. Then it went all black and white, and went to like 800x600 and a screen popped up saying to save my work. I hit the power button, took out the geforce 4, put back in my two video cards, push the power button, and NOTHING happened.
I even put back in that geforce4 and still, nothing. Not even the CPU fan flicker a little. Absolutely nothing. Now i have everything out except for RAM, CPU and videocard, and still no power. I went and got a new powersupply, NO power. I have another motherboard sitting here, but do you guys tihnk that will fix the problem? Why would soemthing like this happen? Its the video card from hell, that breaks computers!
