Hey All, so my computer works fine - the i install the creative x-fi xtreme-music soundcard and then it wont start (the sound card) so i decide to flash the bios as it had fixed other peoples problems from the asus website.... enter world of pain.
My computer on return from the hardware repair shop featured a new bios and the sound card worked. but the computer wouldn't re-start. you press restart and it shuts down normally then nothing the screens are just black like there on but nothing is there. and the computer just hangs like its still running and wont restart. so i have tried everything. i have cleaned the hard drive and reinstalled windows and the problem is still there, and now my sound card doesn't work im feeling like installing the audigy 4 in mine instead as there are no problems compared with the x-fi.
Does anyone know what the problem may be, i have been told to repair it will be between 65-110 Australian dollars (I live there) an hour, so it will get expensive... should i replace the motherboard as i have changed the memory timings and tired everything. video card still works fine, hard drives fine, im guessing power supplu is fine, specs are below please help searched the net and nothing.
My specs:
Asus P5N32E Sli Plus Mobo
OCZ Powersupply 600W
Asus 8800GTS
1x 500GB segate
1x 36GB Raptor WD
x-Fi xtrememusic sound card
CPU Intel CoreDuo E6400
