Anyone still running a ASUS p5q and a q9550?

Not sure if it would help or not but have you tried to reset your bios yet....As in move jumper and remove battery push the power button a couple of times to discharge the board. Wait a couple minutes move jumper back install battery?

Doesn't help all the time....But sometimes it does as bios can kinda trip out sometimes.

Of course you'd wanna save your current profile first.

I did the bios reset thing 2 days ago..

The system was hibernating all night and when I started the computer this morning ,it went to the windows xp loading screen and crashes as soon as I hit my name.

Could not recover or repair. I said fuck it and went to my windows 7 drive, worked fine. Decided to buy a new printer instead of reinstalling windows xp.(no drivers for win 7)
I could still access the xp drive and put my files on windows 7 drive , so no real loss.

When I tried to push reset after crash my computer would come on but no display.
The monitor would stay in power saving mode and asked me to activate by using the pc.

This cpu has been nothing but a headache since I got it.
I never had 1 problem before.
Shopping for psu and printer as I type.

Edit: I just finished Crysis warhead on windows 7 (great great game) . Went to play CSS and my picture was dark. Could not make it brighter.
Tried ugrading drivers ,no improvement.
Everything else plays great,brightness is fine. Videos are fine.
It's like my computer is falling apart
