Hi guys,

Well, after sorting out my cooling problem (thanx to these forums!) ive now got a new problem.

I turned my computer on after afew days and installed Office2000. Then i urned my comp off, and came back 2 it afew hours later. Then when I was doing something after about 2-4mins the screen justwent blank, but the power stayed on, and the computer was still running. But its not whats on the screen thats going black, the monitor actually cuts off, like its in powersave mode. So then i restarted and the same happened, then i turned the computer off, put it back on and the screen wouldnt initilize, almost like it wasnt connected.

Ive tried it with 2 differnet monitors......same happened......and i tried swapping the graphics card, same again! I have no idea whats happened, and I dont see how it could be related to office 2000, its not a copy or anything.

So basically, im left with 2 problems, the screen going blank when on windows, and the screen not initilizing sometimes when starting up!

Thanks for your time

Dave
