Alright.
I bought a new computer, put it together, etc. The specs:
XFX (Division of Pine) Mach4 motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX200
20 GIG Western Digital HDD
128MB DDR Ram (upgrading soon)
When I try to boot it up, the moniter's light stays on orange. I have removed the motherboard, placed it back, it's not touching metal to ground itself, it has been working fine for a long time. I took out the video card and put it back in. I tried my video card (ATI Radeon 9200 PRO) same problem.
When it did work, the screen kept turning black for about 5 seconds and it would go back.
If the computer was left to idle for about 3 hours, it would be completely frozen. Once rebooted, nothing would happen - no moniter.
I don't know what this means. I just built this computer for my dad...
When I first built it I had a similar problem the first power up. I had to remove the card and push it in super hard in order to make it to go on - took me about 15 minutes. But now it refuses to work. I tried it on a different moniter, I hooked my laptop up to the moniter - no work. Any clues?
