isn't a ATI Radeon 9550 series a 256mb instead of a 128mb
i used to use one and i was just wondering.
try to find out wat kind of HD it is!
try any of these options :
(((GROUND URSELF BEFORE TOUCHING ANYTHING)))
-use a different Power Supply(Short the green and black wires with a paper clip)
-reseat ur video card and RAM (if that doesnt work use default mobo video)
-if u hav a manual reset the CMOS by pulling out the battery in the mobo for couple minutes, then use that manual to reconfigure the settings (if the PC boots up)
-reassemble everything from barebone (remember to ground urself before touching anything)
-check if there are any beeps when u power it up
-check if the capacitors ar poping up in the mobo(if so replace them or get a new mobo)
-check if the heatsink is properly seated
-boot with only the CPU(fan&heatsink), PS, RAM, monitor plugged in the rest leave it unplugged
-might be dead BIOS, flash it or use hotflashing or agent smith's in stickies. (Software)
-might be bad grounding try a different power cable
- if u OC ur PC put the setting to default
- u might of shorted the mobo or ESD has happened
and a, u said ur Pc beep(s):
~sorry not sure wat bios u use~

and its not stable at all...like when i play games framerates drop from time to time (although this is not very frequent, its still a sign of something going wrong)
