I'm new here and I'm not sure what the etiquette is for asking questions but I'm just going to go for it and hopefully get a positive response.
I have had ongoing problems with the computer I brought about 3 years ago. Had to replace the motherboard, RAM, and power supply. The problems never seem to stop. In hindsight the purchase of the computer was a poor decision. Anyways, my current problem is that when I start my computer up it loads and then when the desktop should pop up and windows should start it just goes to a black screen. I usually am fairly good with computers but I am stumped with this.
My question to the members of this board is from that very vague description is there anything people can think of to be wrong? I'm assuming it's a hardware problem...MoBo...hard drive...video card...but I really don't have any idea.
My second question is...I am willing to build a new computer, with help of course. Is this a better option considering all the problems I have had with this current set-up.
If people are willing to delve deeper and help me out I'm sure this could make more sense...so anybody willing I would be greatly appreciative.
