I am taking a look at my in-laws computer that started working funny a few months ago. At first every now and then it wouldn't start, it would load the bios screen but when it went to the windows screen it would stop sending the image to the screen and that was about it. We had to restart it...

Yup, did it already...

It has the usb 3.0 ports.

it worked for maybe 30s and then went out again. No luck on getting it back. I am sending this mobo back and getting a new one. Th graphics card worked fine in another mobo.

I am thinking,could it be a bad Mobo? I have no clue on what to do now, I tested the card in another computer and it works fine.

Yes there are all in there. It seems that the part towards the back of the case doesn't go as deep as the rest of it. and again, I removed everything from the case, checked every standoff, put everything back on place and no image again. Plus my power button turn the computer on, but...

Yeha, the monitor was connected and set as auto. Ok, now... It did like something started running faster and the monitor turned off. Now my power button won't turn off and the image isn't coming up again. I will try to modify the case and make sure that the card is properly attached...

That was it!!!! I unscrewed my Mobo, and reseated my GPU. Apperently my case does not let it go all to way in. I may need to figure something out to make that happen... it is something because of 1mm or 2mm maximum. I tried to reseat it before with out moving the Mobo.

The PSU is a DYNEX dx520wps I reset the BIOS and it's still the same. One thing that I noticed is that the GPU has 2 leds but only one is lighting up.

This is how it looks right now... http://i41.tinypic.com/5a50qv.jpg

Yes, There is a led light in the card that is lighting up and the fans are running too.

I don't have any other card as this is my first custom built computer, and my old one didn't had any card on it. The reason why I got it is because it would be compatible and still in my budget limit. I may try to borrow one from a friend, but I would really like to get started tonight...

Hello, I am building my computer and my motherboard has no onboard video. Now I am struggling to figure out how to use the graphics card that I also bought. Everything seems to work fine in the computer. Fans are running the dvd drive opens and "read" what is inside, but stops after a few...
