I was using my computer that I built maybe about 2 years ago. It's a 3.2ghz P4, some Asus motherboard (can't remember offhand), PC3200 DDR-Ram 512mbs Corsair, ATI 9800 Pro, Maxtor 80Gb hard drive ATA133.
What happened was I got a blue screen of death randomly one day this past week. Then I got it again yesterday, but this time when I restarted the computer.. nothing showed up on the screen at all. I hear my hard drive start to boot then it just stops... A hard drive crash wouldn't do this.
So far I've swapped in a working hard drive, working video card, and I even took out all the other parts that aren't necessary such as my firewire card. Could it be the motherboard?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Right now I'm using a fischer price laptop to do some schoolwork =(
