Answer» Quote so i asked/looked AROUND and found that the intregated video CARD could be bad Its not well confirmed. 1. Quote i can continue to turn it on but shuts right back off. 2.

Quote i added ram and just the other day video card 5.Quote i put on an old monitor and same thing 6. Quote no i INSTALLED the graphics card after the monitor started shutting off The only thing here is the Power Supply, hopefully... A couple of thoughts. Factory powersupplies become insufficient providers when hardware is added to some systems. You replaced the motherboard, installed more memory and put in a graphics card. I`m not a game system homer but I have had problems in the past when I compiled systems when I skimped on the wattage rating. Next thought... when you installed your graphics card did you disable the INTEGRATED graphics in your bios?From your description of the fan being real loud when you turn on the computer, I would say check the thermal paste that is between the processor and the heatsink. Computers have a built in check that causes an automatic shutdown when the temperature of the processor gets too high. This explains why the fan goes on so loud, cause the processor tells it to spin rapidly so it can cool the processor. And when it cannot, which is in your case, the computer shuts down and so does the display. Also check for dusk inside the computer case, especially on the heatsink (which gets caked with dust sometimes) and also the case fan. Blow it all out with a can of air. Then replace the thermal paste, use Arctic Silver or any thermal paste that you can get at a computer shop. To find instructions on how to do this, go to your computer manufacturer website and download the manual. Look for replacement procedure for processor hope this helps
