i have a fairly old pc
foxcomm G31MXP motherboard maxed out on ram (4gig)
im running windows xp sp3
intel dual core 2.8ghz (runs very hot 70c+ checked on speed fan)
i have an ati radeon 5450 newly bought
the other day i tripped and fell near my computer it then proceeded to crash ever since then it wont stay turned on for more than 20 seconds sometimes less.
it will load the bios screen and sometimes gets as far as the os system loading then will just crash im wondering if maybe ive dislodged something ? i have tried swapping the ram for the stock ram i had to rule out the bad memory problem ive tried removing the graphics card and that didnt work can anybody suggest something else ?
thanks for your time
