Help please !

Hi,

I have an Asus motherborad and a MSI 1 GB graphics card. The problem is that after installing the card the system does not start, while when I take out the card and start the system there is no problem.
So would request for your help in this matter.

got another card to try? This one could be bad.
got another machine in which to try THIS card? This slot could be bad
Have you identified the slot properly and obtained the correctly slotted graphics adapter? Mis-matched slot/card could be an issue if you don't know the differences.

Off the top, sounds like you have a bad card. Without any of the above resources, you won't really know for certain. You could spend time trying to warranty the card, wait for replacement, only to find out that you still have the same problem.

Hi,

My computer is crashing in a way I haven't seen before, it will randomly kill all functions (screen goes blank, sound dies, keyboard non-responsive) but does not shut down (the fans keep running) or reboot. I recently formatted the c drive a couple of days ago but the problem still persists.
Please help me with this issue

Am I missing something here?...You say that when you remove the graphics card, your system starts ok?

I have seen many a problem with an MSI graphics adapter. Overheating is a typical failure. You will want to open the case and check that the GPU fan is still operational and not melted to the heatsink. This was the most common failure aside from various hardware glitches that could only be fixed by replacing the card.

I would do that.

Hi guyz,

I need ur help in this plz.....

Most recently the problem has increased, now the system shuts down within 5 to 10 seconds of starting it.

I would start by stripping the machine down to the basics. System board, RAM, CPU, no HD. If the machine still shuts down, it is one of those three things unless the power supply is starting to go. Does the machine lose power completely or just shut down? You would have to open the machine and check to see if there are any indicator LEDs on the board that would tell you if you do not have power. Many boards will have one, or even two, LEDs indicating power. One typically for power being available and another for on/off indication.

If you remove the RAM, does it beep at you or shut down? If it shuts down, the system board is probably bad. If it beeps, maybe something else.

edit: Does the machine complete the POST (power on self test) before shutting down? At which point, on the screen, does it appear to shut down. Sometimes that is an indicator as well.

@Waynerooney - Please post a new thread with a new topic.

As for the issue, it appears that you will need to identify your antivirus solution. Perhaps there is an exclusion that you need to place in order for it to function properly.
