My brothers Compaq Prescario SR2000 is having a few problems. It randomly shuts down when he's playing a game (mainly when maximizing a running game) and his screen goes blank, then the computer doesn't respond at all - and hes forced to shut it down.
When he starts the computer again the computer starts up - but doesn't detect the monitor - the screen showing a "No Signal" message box. (if he switches it off at the mains - and turns it back on at the tower - all the system fans go on at full speed and the screen shows the same message again.
This happens every day randomly, but after 15-30 (or more) minutes it starts up just fine - and carries on to work fine.
Its not the CPU overheating, BUT when i took his RAM out and turned it on it didn't make a sound at all - suggesting the motherboard is broken right? Well, i did that before and after 30 minutes or so it worked fine again.
Anyone have any ideas what it could be?
EDIT: The more this happens the longer he has to wait before it works again, and he only got it last Christmas.
