I am using the mount screws for my motherboard. Does the problem lie in the psu itself? It could be the psu or the motherboard itself. Have you tried putting it together outside of the case just to be sure something isn't shorting out the mobo somehow? (do it on some cardboard or something equal). Otherwise you'll just have to try another psu or mobo. | ||

Normally I can only use windowed mode on 1280x800, and I can't find a way to set to 1024x768 + windowed mode. Any solutions? | ||

This has been happening for the past few days randomly, but normally a hard restart will get it through. Yesterday it took a few resets and then today I can't get it through at all after ten tries. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but it might just be on it's dying breath since it's pretty old. I'm assuming I have some sort of hardware failure, but I have no clue where to go from here. Update: Got it into windows somehow. My only idea is that some part of my windows is corrupted, specifically when it has hardware failure. Before I was in an endless loop of error messages, but I managed to reboot it without the hardware failing and then it got through just fine. That's my only take on it, but if somebody more experience has any thoughts I'd appreciate it. | ||

This has to be some sort of glitch or something... I noticed it starting to happen today. But then, my load also goes down with whatever I'm doing at the time. Can someone explain why this is, or if its just some weird bug? If this is correct, your CPU is ridiculously OC'd and running at 75 degrees (167 degrees Fahrenheit) Celsius is practically asking to fry your processor. Your CPU probably begins to throttle at this temperature, you should probably look into turning down the voltages before you lose it completely. | ||

If I restart my computer it usually fixes it temporarily, but it's quite a pain. I've got a HP 2007w (or something like that, not at home atm) and an HD 5770 that connects to it through DVI. I tried switching my monitor to my other DVI port and haven't any problems since I did that yesterday, but I'm still not sure the problem is completely gone. I've also got my flat screen 1920 x 1080 HDTV connected to my 5770 via HDMI and I don't ever have any problems with it. My 5770 is 2+ years old and my monitor is 3+ years old. Is is probable that my GPU or monitor is going to go soon? I've also had some problems with my computer booting up recently as well as it just freezing completely every now and then and I'm wondering if any of this is tied together. When it freezes during the bootup (which is maybe 1 out of every 10 bootups) it gets stuck at the Loading Windows screen with the MS flag and black background. Could my problems be revolving around my GPU, or are my bootup and freezing problems not related at all to my monitor problem? It all started happening around generally the same time. edit: blehh, this isn't such a simple question i suppose lol i've had a monitor that flickered often, sometimes it would work for extended periods of time but other times it would just turn on for a second than black screen for awhile. i tested it by connecting to a different monitor and saw if it did the same thing, realized it was my monitor ready to burn out. if it's working with your HDMI TV, then it's probably your monitor. The booting problems are probably related to hardware conflicts from hard-restarts because of your monitor, it's probably best to get a new monitor than reformat or run a windows restore to before these problems started to happen. | ||

The later is usually what happens, but you might lose some registry files that have you current icon/start-up menu setup so you may not be able to locate those programs easily. Most of the time, your computer will revert to how exactly your computer was setup at that particular time (windows 7 saves a system restore point every time a new driver or significant update requiring a restart is installed). | ||

I've never experienced this before today, and i most definitely am not overclocking it  I don't think it's even possible to run an old athlon 64 that fast XD. Its stock voltage and everything. | ||

I don't have any system restore points ^_^ I do have a windows 7 disk though so I guess my only option is to destroy everything? | ||

Thanks for the reply. I don't think the flickering/nonresponding monitor should cause the system freezes I've been getting though, should it? I can understand correlation between the booting problems and having hard shut down, but I didn't think external peripherals such as monitors could cause freezes in the system. That's why I was suspecting the GPU. I also had my computer freeze again today after having switched DVI ports on my GPU, and although I still haven't gotten any flickering since then, it did freeze up again today. | ||
