Hello fellow forumers
I have a computer that's causing me some pain, and I would greatly help your appreciate your help in fixing it. It currently boasts the following spec
AMD Athlon 500+
Gigabyte 780 G chipset motherboard with onboard graphics
2GB 800 Mhz DDR 2 RAM ruuning in single channel mode
250 GB SATA II hard disk ( Seagate ? )
A Jenetech 350 W power supply ( formerly a Gigabyte of 400
Add-on Cards
CreativeSoundBlaster Audigy Value
D-Link DWA 510G Wireless Card
The RAM and PSU were recently replaced as a part of my efforts to tackle the lack of any video display on bootup. Both replacements initially led to the system giving me some display, but then it all vanished.
In the case of the RAM, I got 6 hours worth of display after which the computer gave up. However with the power supply , I did not even get that. Previously, I have had the great pleasure of fixing all my computer's woes, but its predicament is clearly beyond my understanding.
Previous symptoms worth noting in order of occurrence
When new, it tended to shut down after intensive gaming.This was attributed to the heating of the Northbridge, a known issue with the Gigabyte motherboards.
Two years after purchase, it started showing some resistance to high definition video and full screen streaming video.
Lately, the display started going off or not coming on at all.
