ok, i had alot of other problems with my pc but i finally got everything running and it didnt power off byitself and it didnt have very high temps. but after awhile my monitor started to act stupid. the screen went blank and a blue box came up and said the monitor is working but check video and cables. i did. but then as i turn on my pc and monitor the monitor screen displayed the same thing but it was very distorted. i then unpluged the monitor from the pc. it was still distorted and wasnt working. so i had an old pci card(dont know if it works or not but it at least lets me see the bios screen when i boot up) i put it in and tried to see if the monitor worked with that card. it did the same thing.(btw, i had to shut down the pc improperly since i couldnt see anything on the screen everytime) So i just figured the monitor wasnt working anymore. so i was just trying to figure out what i was going to do. i remembered that the new video card i had in, had a s video thing where i could hook my tv up to my pc. i tried that and it worked. my pc booted but it was saying windows was shut down wrong choose how i want to start windows.(i put last known good configuration). now, it seemed to start windows(showed the logo) but then it restarted, it went back to the logo again and restarted again. finally it said windows was shut down wrong again, i chose start normally, it did the same thing, then i chose start in safe mode, it then booted, it worked. so i went to system restore. i did a restore to a coulple days ago. it restarted it wouldnt start windows normally(did same as before). i went to safe mode. it said it system restore incomplete. i tried different dates, same thing happened. i kept trying, i got the blue screen a couple times. so i figured i would just install windows on an extra hard drive i had in my pc. while in safe mode i transfered the files off my extra hard drive to the master and it went fine. i then shut down my pc and went to bed. i wake up this morning and go to class and then i get back to install windows on the hard drive but i turn on my pc and i get a black screen on my tv, the keyboard lights doesnt come on, and i get no beep from my pc. but everything in the pc is powered up and running. i checked everything to make sure it was connected but still the same thing. i could really use some help now. i dont know what to do
