    Desktop turning off during boot

    I tried both sticks individually in each slot and still no go. Also the computer won't stay on long enough for me to change the bios settings. Also sometimes it will get past post and other times it turns off before post.

    should I upgrade

    I didnt see any motherboards that have pci-e that support my current processor. Is there any you know of or will agp still be upgradable in the future?
  40. C

    should I upgrade
