    Screen goes black and mouse goes crazy

    Nah, I just held the power button. I scanned and deleted 2 files while scanning "Sys Files." it's weird because it wouldn't let me do a "full scan" anymore. I'll update once I finish scanning the main drive... Hopefully it fixes it.

    Screen goes black and mouse goes crazy

    I cleared the CMOS , but it's still doing it. Should I just replace the 470? Edit: Something weird just popped on my screen. It happened so fast and I couldn't read it, but it looked like it said "KOOM" with big overlapping letters in blue.

    Screen goes black and mouse goes crazy

    Not sure what you mean. It's about 6 months old that I bought from eBay for $45. How would I check if it's dying? Furmark or one of those kinda tests?

    Screen goes black and mouse goes crazy

    I did the "chkdsk /r" and left it alone. I guess it completed while I was away because when I returned it was back at the home screen. Is there a log I can pull up somewhere? It still goes black/No Signal when I open the browser. It's gotten REALLY SLOW since yesterday... Yes, there's only 4...

    Screen goes black and mouse goes crazy

    So I have this old computer that was a prebuilt(HP p6510y) and was slowly upgraded. There was a power surge 2 days ago and that's when the problems started. I get 2-3 second black screens when I open the browser or any other program. Opening CSS or GTA IV crashes the pc, CS 1.6 works fine. I ran...

    eBay Question

    The buyer decided for shipping instead of Local PickUp. Case closed I guess... Question: Can ATOT share some of their horror stories with ebay/paypal?
