hi.
I'm really baffled, and annoyed here.
After eagerly awaiting delivery of a refurbished tower, grahpics card and Battlefield 2, they arrive.
All is well, windows xp boots up fine, seems nice and quick. I follow all instructions and succesfully install agp graphics card.
Now i install BF2 and it freezes during registration (a connetion issue) so i hit ctrl+alt+del to restart.
Now the fun begins...instead of restarting, nothing happens except the fan start whizzing, no beeps (not sure if it has inbuilt speaker) no other noises...can't even open the cd / dvd drives.
I've restarted many times, removed G card, put it back, removed battery in an attempt to get back to the state i was in previously.
As it booted before installation of g card i know the HD and OS are ok, and assume its some kind of hardware issue.
Ive tried all the different combinations i can think of (inc using a skeleton system) and still no luck, apart from the fan its totally dead.
I dont see what i could have done to kill it, as everything was working before i restarted. ><
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated
thnx
