Hey everyone! My computer has been really weird lately, I have a AMD1800+, AK31 v3.1 mobo, and 256 DDR ram, and winxp professional, it was fine before but lately it has been crashing, even during the boot up. it gives me blue screen, says there is an error with it, and now i can't even boot up my computer, i can hear the computer running but the monitor is blank, i don't see anything on the monitor, it also makes some weird noise when i boot up, can anyone tell me what the problem is? thanks
 
pop out your ram...boot up and see if your mobo gives a "no ram" beep

try re-seating your video card

might wanna try clearing the bios as well...take out the mobo battery for 1/2 an hour or so and unplug the computer

heck, you might even want to try unplugging the computer for a while and letting it sit there...you'd be surprised !
 
it sounds like something is loading but in a weird way. can't really explain it, i will try to clear out the bios see if it works
 
well i wish i could reinstall OS, but my computer won't even boot up and no my system is not overclock, like when i turn my computer on i can hear my computer running but nothing will show on my monitor, i have a shuttle ak31 mobo, and geforc2 pro, crucial DDR ram, AMD XP1800,
 
It was working before, and now it's making weird noise (Ram doesn't make noise, neither does AGP guys) I would think it's the hard drive crapping out on you. Put in your winXP CD and see if it boots off of that. Or, you could boot off of a win98 boot disk or a dos boot disk, put scandisk on it and try to run it from the prompt.

If you can boot off of a boot CD or a floppy okay, (means, not your hard drive) then it is most likely your hard drive. Can you even get into the bios?
 
Do you get anything on your monitor? Bios?

If your motherboard has onboard video remove the AGP card and try connecting to the onboard vga.
 
I had something similar happen to me once. It turned out that my video card had become unseated when I moved my case and the monitor cable pulled the card out of the AGP slot just enough. I unseated and reseated and the problem was gone.

Reseating your video card should be your first task.
