My computer I built a few years ago has crashed. Can someone give me an idea where to start looking?
After it's been sitting a while i can power on and get to the Windows logo (where it has the loading status bar) and the screen freezes. After i shut it off and turn it back on i get no output on the monitor at all. The computer seems to be running (all fans are on, cd tray ejects) but there's no output to the monitor & the keyboard lights don't function. I thought maybe the video card came unseated so I reseated it and still nothing. I've also tried another monitor.
These are the specs as best as i can remember (it's been 3 years or more since i messed with anything tech related):
Asus A8N-E Motherboard
Athlon dual core (can't remember the speed or model)
EVGA 7800GT video
2 gigs ddr RAM
Windows XP pro
