Hello all, unfortionatly I seem to have myself a little problem, and have been reading through these forums and knew this is a place I should be. I have a "Gateway GT5028" system, and one day when I turned my computer off, the next time I turned it on, I got a blank screen, at first I thought I fryed my video card (Geforce 7950gt oc), but I tryed my geforce 6600gt oc and I got the same problem. But I was getting all my beeps and everything, after a very long inital boot compared to normal. So I pluged my monitor into the onboard Geforce 6100 and pow, everything seemed to work, except for the long boot time and the prolongated time without video on my monitor from startup. Taking out the video card solved that problem of corse. But my PCI-E slot seems to be fryed, and I was woundering if anyone has any advice or tricks I can try out to get this thing working again, I dont really know if it's fryed or just stoped responding one morning.
Specs: - AMD Athalon X2 3800+ Duel Core
- 2GB DDR PC3200 (duel channel)
- 300W PSU (unfortionatly a gf7950gtoc requires a 350 power supply witch I neglected to notice and that might have done it in, altho it worked fine for nearly a year)
- Geforce 7950 GT OC (factory overclock)
- 250Gb HD
- C51GU01 Foxconn mobo
I Figure I'm gonna have to get a new one, and am prepared to in 5 days, (hmmmm guess I'm gonna need a new psu too ) but perhaps someone out there more knoledgable than I can lend a helping and, and any help no matter how small is greatly apreciated.
