Hey all, first post.
I was hoping for some help with my problem!
Specs:
Custom built
Intel Core 2 Duo 6420 2.13GHz
2gb RAM
GeForce 8600GT graphics card, 256mb
What's wrong is, the heatsink broke so I replaced it (one of the prongs was bent). Then went I went to turn it on, it only made like a sort of quick buzz as the power went on and off very briefly.
I tried this maybe 4 or 5 times then it turned on proper. The computer beeped once, then I heard the fans slow down and it stayed on a blank screen.
So I thought it to be the graphics card, which I swapped out with one of my old ones (a Radeon X1600XT). Surprise, it worked again, but only after that same problem where I had to press the button a few times. It went fine, booted into Windows, and I'm typing this on it now.
Now here is where it gets weird... The graphics card from this computer, I put it into another comp and it worked FINE. I put it back into this computer and it wouldn't start again.
So any opinions? Any help is appreciated!
