ok this new computer i bought, with no video card, then switched to a higher w power supply for the new video card i bought kinda just screwd up on me, at first the computer just wouldnt wake up from sleeps then i have to restart it.

now it just wont start most of the time the weird thing is IT WORKS SOMETIMES, rarely, but when it does, it will just freeze in the middle of a game or just as soon as it gets to the desktop and the screen goes all weird. then when i try to restart it it wont!!(without video card, with the video card it'll just freeze)

ORRR..(most of the time) it will just have the power light on, and nothin at the display. when i had the video card on, the card will make a loud noise, but now i have everythin bak to original and it still happens.

the thing that confuses me is dat IT WORKS SOMETIMES. so i think maybe the cables arent connected rite? and i dun hear any beeps, just reeeaaally quiet clicks(lyk four of them) when the computer doesnt start.the three reeeally quiet clicks r from the harddrive i think.. cuz i opened the computer up n listend to it.

Maybe i screwd up the mother board while screwin the cpu bak in by pressin it 2 hard or w.e...... but please heelllllllp.!!!!!!
 
Is this some sort of joke? Uh, how would you know if it freezes w/o a video card? Why would you have a computer w/o a video card. Try posting this in English. That will help. This computer is new and you screwing around with it like this? Who is the manufacturer?

Or,..... :eek:
 
yeah theres no video card, theres only the onboard graphics accelerator wutever its called, and all i did was change the power supply and added a video card. the manufacture is acer, and no its not a joke. lol. like when the video cards in with the power supply i bought, when it freezes, it'll just suddenly freeze, no blue screen of death or ne thing. but if i change everything bak to the original specs, when it suddenly freezes, the screen would have lyk yellowish vertical stripes and stuff. like it freezes when m not even doing anything.
 
no i didnt........ how do i do that now? it kinda freezes on both video graphics. but on my other desktop, which was xp, this is vista, i just plugged the geforce6800xt and installed the drivers n it works fine, and this is 8800gts.
 
but the computer wont even start, lyk the acer logo doesnt even come on. and when it does, it freezes even when its under bios. its very weird
 
tried the memory thing, din work, unless both of my slots and memories r broken.......... what could cause this?? anyone know? lyk something dats not fried or broken, cuz it works sometimes for 2-3 mins or so..
