Hello all
First time post here so if any errors in posting in the wrong place!!
I'm not PC literate but my knowledge is enough to get me by until now.
I've increased the memory from 4 x 512MB cards to 4 x 1GB cards. All s well up to now until I decided to update my nvidea GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card.
I was able to switch on the PC which is solely used for Microsoft FS2004 and peripherals and I found after setting up a flight the PC would crash and re-start itself. This was random and it could be as soon as I started FS2004 via the desktop icon or no more than 2-5 minutes into the game.
I carried out a system restore to no avail and rolled back the driver. I managed to get it working again-I don't know how but it crashed again so I decided to remove and re-fit the memory cards.
Now when I turn on the PC nothing works!! The screens are blank (I have a primary display and two 19" monitors as secondary displays).
The keyboard LEDs no longer illuminate when the computer is switched on.
In summary I have changed the memory cards and updated the graphics card and now I have nothing!!!
I'm running a Dell XPS710 core-quad processor 6600 2.4GHz 1066FSB 8MB cache
Windows XP Professional 32 bit
Single 768 nVidea GeForce 8800GTX graphics card
PCI card Ageia PhysX 128MB
I hope that this makes sense?! Thank you in anticipation of your help.
