OK... I'm going to let my friend Jeremy do this thread because he's here right now, and it's his computer with the problem :D
[begin long monlouge... :D]
Story:
At the beginning of the summer with some computer experience decided to rebuild my PIII 600 into an athlon 1100 Mhz. Then I decided to overclock my 1100. I acomplished my task using stock cooling and made a 9% increase in speed to 1200, which was the best I could do. Then one day about 2 1/2 months later I decided to install a HD cooling kit and I opened up the my computer. I have an HP case that restricts additional computer components. I had to slide out the removable drive bay cage to install it. But then i made a stupid mistake after installing the cooler, my computer was on and i pushed in the bay to get it out of my way so i could see the monitor. Just when i did that The computer went poof and was nevermore.
Problem:
Im Having a problem with my savage 4 and my K7VZA motherboard It seems that my Motherboard and video card don't like each other. When I put my video card into another computer it works and my motherboard works with a different video card but they seem to hate each other and cause complete chaos. It refuses to boot, so it's not anything with Windows, and I have checked the BIOS and reset the AGP settings back to 2x (the minimum) to try to force it to work. No go.
[end monolouge...]
Anybody got some ideas?
By the way... Mods, please treat this like a newbie post because I simply let him type the message. He thinks it's more video card related, so that's why it's here instead of general hardware. Let's see....
