Hello guys, I recently bought a computer tower (ebay), it arrived today & I have a problem
When I turn it on theres all lines down the screen & random letters scatterd all over the loading pages - heres 2 photos:
When the computer arrived 1 of the ram sticks had come loose & was laying in the tower, & the proccessors fan was loose (the clips had come out).
Ive tried a different sata drive & still it has the exact problem, & I dont think the problem is with my monitor as it works fine on my other computer (this 1 im using now).
Can anybody please offer me any advice? im really lost on what to try
Thanks in advance for any advice.
