Recently, i decided to build myself a computer, so i went out and bought myself:
K7S5A Motherboard
AMD 1.2Ghz Athlon
Sparkle Geforce2 MX 32Mb
Netgear Network Card
and a case that the shop advised
then with parts out of my Compaq Presario 7482 (DVD-Rom, 15Gb HD, 128mb PC100, Compaq Mv520 Monitor) i procedeed to set my new computer up. After plugging everything in, it would'nt boot up to start with, but every now and then it would suddenly decide to boot(when i say wouldnt boot, i mean fan, lights, HD come on but no signal to my monitor). After awhile i started again piece by piece, and found out it was all fine until i put my Network card in. Fine i could live without the internet until i found a way round this. So i started to use my computer a little, but was still getting the odd non-boot. After i was kinda happy with the system i installed Final Fantasy 7, but when i went to play it the monitor just dies as if on standby. So i decided to try some other games, Black and White, Rainbow 6, Championship Manager 00/01.... ah it works.... the only game it will work with though. I tried a couple of other games but got the same problem again. Ive got all the latest drivers for my hardware plus ive tried directx 7 and 8. If anyone has got any ideas how to overcome this please let me know, Thx
