So a couple of weeks ago I installed a soundcard and pretty quickly the PC started BSODing until it just gave in and started boot looping (would load upto the windows splash screen, flicker blue and reboot).
So I thought forget it, thats a driver issue and from the looks of it needs a reinstall of windows. Wasn't interested in doing that then (went on holiday) and have been using this laptop in the mean time.
So I'm trying to fix it now but when I turn it on, it doesn't reboot itself continually, instead the monitor acts like its in standby (ie waiting for the pc to turn on) and just shows a black screen. Infact both monitors Ive tried acted like they were on standby while the pc was on, and then when I unplugged the monitor from the PC it would "switch-on" and show the coloured box moving around the screen.
All the connections inside the PC are good, and the only change between when I installed the soundcard (and subsequent error) and now; was the RAM being removed, put in another pc, and then put back.
