Exclamation Dunno whats wrong with my Computer - 03-22-2009, 11:50 | posts: 32 | Location: Australia

My computer recently died on me, and although i am going to get a new one soon, i would like to have a go a fixing it, because it is still a decent computer and i may yet be able to sell it.

It had been having trouble starting up and sometimes resets for no reason, which i put down to the power supply, but recently it has been having other errors.

when i turn it on, sometimes it just wont boot (which is again probably the power supply) but then sometmes when it does manage to boot it gets to the windows loading stage and then i get a strange pixelation all over the screen and it wont load any further.

Im not sure if it is still because of the power supply or (because of the pixelation) a video card problem or even a HDD issue. It is an old machine from about 2002. should i even bother or just let it go?

Thanks for your help.
