If you are using a video card (instead of built-in/on-board video) I |
| 5 |
would try a different video card, if you have an old or spare one. I |
| 6 |
have had lots of video cards die from overheating and power spikes. |

I only had one motherboard ever die, a computer I gave to my father |
| 9 |
died after a few months... it was ASRock brand but I'm sure that is a |
| 10 |
coincidence. :) It had blown/cracked capacitors all over the |
| 11 |
motherboard. It did not die completely at once. It would "kind of" |
| 12 |
work, but started to crash randomly and became worse and worse until |
| 13 |
finally it wouldn't boot at all. I replaced the MB, but kept the same |
| 14 |
CPU, RAM everything else, and it has been working ever since. That was |
| 15 |
after we bought a new power supply that didn't make any difference. |
