Have you tried re-installing your drivers?

have you tried a different screen and or different video card?

I had similar issue It turned out to be my screen would go stupid when it had HDMI and DVI plugged into it at the same time.

Check the pins on DVI to HDMI converter I had a problem like that with a DVI to VGA converter once and one of the pins was broken on it.

You just have to troubleshoot it the list is huge to test, only 1 in 100 times can one of the members just guess what is wrong with your system you have to eliminate one component at a time.

0. Is nothing shorting out, Lose screw in the case, bit of damp dust some where?

1. Test your cable connections, DVI HDMI whatever you are using

2. make sure the power connectors are plugged into your video card fine and that your video card is secure on the motherboard.

3. Go get a second screen and unplug your screen and try that.

4. Re install the drivers

5. Test the video card in another system if nothing is fixed and the video card works fine in another system now you know its not the screen or video card.

6. remove you OC settings if you have OC'd

7. If you have more than one stick of RAM remove one. if it don't wak still swap the sticks over, if still not working test the RAM in a different slot, If it still isn't working the RAM should be ok but if you want to make sure test it in another system. If it works its not the RAM.

8. Test another PSU in the RIG, a power supply supplying incorrect power to components could cause this.

9. Their maybe a issue with the OS install or the HDD, Re install windows to a second HDD to test it.

10. If all this has not fixed your issue it will either be a motherboard fault or CPU fault you can only test this if you have the same socket CPU and mobo around to test.

And what do you have to do if, the "7" worked ? But the system boots only with one stick of ram ? What can it be ? I have that problem, so please if you know, tell me

Have you tried the other stick to see if one of the RAM sticks are faulty?

If they both work when in on their own try put the second stick in a different slot because maybe one of the RAM slots on the motherboard might be playing up.

i checked using one by one ram but with all it got stuck after using the pc sometime so i dnt think rams are faulty,i'm not sure about the vga :S

 

[rashiga]

i gave the vga to a friend to test he said that he also got the same prob with the vga,so this the vga lifetime is over ryt?
