I obviously can't check the display settings because it doesn't show anything but that blue box flashing here and there. Anyone know what could be wrong?

I have a new computer specs are:
2.4 e660 conroe P Processor
2GB of RAM
400GB SATA HDD
200GB IDE HDD
128 MB nVidia gfx card
4 fans inc processor and power supply
XP Professional

At first i thought maybe the processor was over-heating but the tempature doesn't go above 48 celcius and it can work upto i believe 90 or something like that.

Then i looked at all the connectors to see if there all plugged in on the motherboard and they are.

Then i looked at the graphics and that stays at 52 celcius and it has it's own heat sync and fan.

Now im stompt for ideas! I previously had XP Pro 64bit instaleld and it also crashed with that as well.

Any ideas?

Thanks inadvance,

James :)

Hello, I am thinking about buying a Dell XPS 410 with an E6600 2gigs of 800 mhz ram and a 8600 GTS. I was just wondering if that would be worth it and if i would see a big difference between that and my old machine. My old machine has a Pentium 4 3.0ghz HT 2 gig 400mhz ddr2 ram, and a 512 mb version of the 6800gs.

Also does anyone know what kind/brand of the 8600 GTS dell will be putting in the XPS410?

Thanks in advance

I don't understand. You can update it on a desktop, why not a laptop?
