Wow, that's a weird one. How on earth did you ever figure out what the problem was? What prompted you to try another video card? Was there some sign of a...
Hi Mike, Thank you very much for your response. Looking through your list of possibilities, I can rule out a few, but not all. As I mentioned, the computer...
I had a job once where my pc started crashing whenever I went for my lunch break. I'd go, come back an hour later and everything would be frozen, as with...
Hello, In terms of things that randomly die, I would seriously consider RAM sticks, they seem to die or arrive DOA upon purchase more than any other component....

I'm wondering about a few other possibilities. 1) Overheat of the processor, power supply, or Oasys card from dust or inadequate ventilation? 2) Is any...
Hi Mike, Thanks again for the great suggestions. I'm not giving up, yet, but I am getting a little discouraged. Yesterday I phoned a computer technician and...
