I hope you guys can help me solve this so call "fatal" problem. I was playing and suddenly the screen hang and the screen look weird. I try to exit the game but can't. Neither alt + f4 nor ctrl + alt + del. So I press the reset buttom to reboot. This time, I cant even see the BIOS. Just blank screen. Restart itself every 1 to 2 mins.
Please solve this problem for me. Thx a million...

Hi mark85, welcome to SAF
Assuming that you were not badly infected by some virus, you may suspect your videocard first. Try removing and re-seating it. If it does not work, try to use the onboard video.
It may also be a memory problem. If you still have problems, try restarting with a single RAM stick.
It may be your processor that has overheated and eventually fried, as I hope no.

O... I don have on-board videocard. My CPU is fine and also the fan.
I try to run my com without my videocard. There is a one beep BIOS sound (which mean missing hardware I think), and never restart again. So now I suspect that my videocard is the "mastermind" behind this problem. What you guys think?

It's probably your videocard, but you will not know it unless you replace it...

Or try the suspect video card in a different pc, if you have one available.
