Re: windows error on start up

It sounds to me like something else came loose when you removed the modem card. Double check all your cables and reseat the video card for starters.

Re: windows error on start up

I agree! you might've accidentally touched something inside your PC. most of the time it's the video card but just to be sure reseat other cables as well, and all those other stuff you have inside too.. oh! and don't forget the Memory modules too...

Re: windows error on start up

i found what was wrong, apparently if i left the comp on for like about 5 min it showed a error message saying a system file is missing or corrupt and it cant boot up....so i guess a old modem on a new motherboard = bad bad bad

thanks for the help tho
