So this is what i can describe from my limited knowledge and terminology. Not only is the fan on the sink of my processor out so is the fan on my video card. So i open it and i use a normal box fan to blow into it and it work just fine. Anyway, i normally turn the comp and the fan off at night but i forgot to turn the comp off that night like i do sometimes and it never matters if EQ is not running. Soo anyway, i wake up and on the moniter it reads "out of range" but its not a msg being sent from the CPU. I restart, the screen comes up and everything is screwy and then it goes to this red geometic pattern then back to the "out of range" msg. So i assume it's the video card, i go out get a new video card, get it mounted, turn on the comp and the monitor gives me a msg that saying that nothing is connected to it. From talking to friends they said that sounded like a mother board problem. I found nothing charred or any burning smell. any ideas?
