Hi all I've been having a problem with my media center PC...It is an HP Pavilion PC and it seems to be having a major problem....I recently upgraded my graphics card from an ATI Radeon X300 to an Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT.....the transition went with no incident...but after almost a year of use one morning I pressed the power button on my PC to regularly boot it up to Windows and there was nothing but a black screen showing up on my monitor.....I can hear the fan spin and power is indeed on but my keyboard numlock light isn't showing as well as the lights on the back of the computer...its actually my brother's computer and he told me he took it to best buy to get it checked out but all they said was that there was nothing wrong with it and that it is just missing a graphics card....that is clearly not the problem since I already removed the card and installed it in my PC to troubleshoot...the card works fine on the other PC...so its clearly not an issue with the videocard right?....now this all happened actually about 2 months ago and the computer has been sitting at home for that amount of time...one day I tried pluggin it up again and installed the Nvidia graphics card and voila!...it runs again without a hitch.....for about a week but then to my dismay it happened again....thats why I'm here.... ....any amount of help will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I'm sorry I forgot to mention this but this all occured after we moved....I should have pointed that out earlier.
