Restartifying piece of ****

daves shed · 11-19-2006, 10:04 PM

My computer is an Advent 3418

And it dies a lot. Replaced the video memory and the video card, but still getting probs.

I'm fed up of it so am seeking advise off you.

It starts up and doesn't even go into BIOS sometimes - one hard drive (storage drive) is useless because of it. And sometimes it goes through BIOS then restarts over and over again, until I get fed up and shout obscene things at it.

Please help...

restarting can be from a bad HD, mobo, and RAM..
