Ok - got a major issue here...was installing Ubuntu the other day on the new pc (Asus Striker Extreme mobo, 3ghz dual core, 8800gtx card - dual booting on XP) and when I reset it it hanged. Powered it down, tried again and the monitor would not move from standby mode. Today I tried an older graphics card - same result - tried an alternate mobo slot on both - same thing - even a spare sata drive - when that failed I took the pc upstairs and attached to the monitor for this pc - which works - and still the same. I then stripped it down and went through the whole one hdd and one stick of ram - still nothing. This pc has been nothing but trouble since I got it a few months ago - I've gone through 2 mobo's, had to get another cpu and now this - does ANYONE have any thoughts because right now I'm about fit to cry over this.
major problem - hope someone can help!

Take your whole pc apart, lay all the componants on a static mat or clean surface and put the componants in one by one. Do you have any extra componants you can try in replace of your current ones?
Sadly I have no other components I can use - no extra ram and certainly no other psu or 3rd graphics card. I'm going to try and take the system into a local shop and see what they think but right now I'm so tired and drained from trying to sort this out today I haven't got the energy to totally strip it down tonight. But if anyone else has any other suggestions please feel free to voice them.
And thanks for the prompt reply guys.
