Moniter wont display an image

by ramzzhakim . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

Recently, I got an Nvidia 6800 AGP and an Nvidia 6600GT PciE. I put the 6600 in and it worked fine for about 2 months when I went to the 6800 for fun. it worked for about 1 month and then my hard drive crashed. I got a new one and replaced it. I reformatted and installed my OS (XP Home). No matter how many fresh installs I did every time I put in a cat5 cable to the mobo RJ-45 port I would get a restart along with the mobo USB port. Finally I gave up and just lived with it. Then My computer would randomly restart when a headphone jack was plugged into the mobo. Now the PciE 6600GT won’t display any image and The AGP won’t either, there is no intergrated graphics, and I have tried an MX440, 6200 LE, and an FX5500. None work enough to display an image. Then I got an image to display but No IDE channels were detected. I unplugged everything save for my boot C drive, Shazam! It worked and started booting. Then as soon as I plugged in a headphone jack, it rebooted and wouldn’t display anything. I have a 675 Watt PSU that is known to be a little flaky but am not sure that it is the problem ’cause I Tried a 400 Watt PSU and no improvement occurred. Is this a graphics card problem? A PSU issue? Or is my Motherboard dying?

AMD 3200+ OC to 2.45 Ghz
6800 AGP or 6600Gt Pcie
675 Watt SLI certified PSU
Socket 939
1.5 gigs RAM (Pc2100)
2 Hard drives
Cd rom & Dvd Rom drive

Please Help me get mah compooter back up and running UT3 is waiting in mah room for me. Thanks!!!
