Well, I bought an eMachine T6420, and about 2 months ago I decided to buy a new video card and power supply. I purchased a BFG Tech 7600 GT OC and a Thermaltake 430W Power Supply. I installed both myself, and it worked like a charm.
Anyways, about two weeks ago I come home and I notice that my monitor isn't getting a signal from my new video card. I unplug the monitor cable from the new video card and plug it back into integrated video card.
A few minutes later I remove the new video card, uninstall the drivers, and try to reinstall it. It seemed like it would work, I was getting a signal, but my hopes were smashed when the screen showed a bunch of messed up windows logos.
I tried to turn the computer off via the power button on the front, but after holding that for about 30 seconds nothing happend. I then turned off the power from the new power supply and unplugged the power cord. When I turned it back on, the computer would start up for one second, then shut off.
I sent my tower to the emachine repair depot, and it should be back in a week, but my question is, should I get my power supply and video card replaced? Or will they work with the new motherboard from emachines?
