Topic: Boot Disc Failure, another one....

I'm fine thanks, Kate, how about you?

Without any substantial information, it's going to be hard to help you. I don't think either of us know exactly what they've done. The most obvious test, at this point, would be to try a different graphics card.

[mistybear]

I'm good now that summer is finally over.

The graphics card is fairly new ATI 4350.

Besides the new HDD, it is the newest part of the PC. Michael thinks I should be looking at a new PC, I'd rather fix it. (It's cheaper)

Perhaps I should wait till I can have a look myself.

[Simon]

I guess (with the emphasis on 'guess') there could be a compatibility issue with the new graphics card and the motherboard, or maybe the PSU isn't big enough to power the graphics card?

[mistybear]

Hi Simon. 

Guess is about all I do these days.

They know that it's a hardware issue, and that's as far as they have gotten.

I did ask if I needed to get a new MB, Michael suggested a new computer.

That would make it a lot easier to fix. 

[Simon]

Hopefully, a new computer wouldn't need fixing! 

[mistybear]

Very true, but his suggestion lacked financial backing.

Oh, and I should mention that at the end of May, a large group of Aussies are headed to London. Michael will be one of them.

[Simon]

Hope he has a good visit!

[Rik]

Should we take any precautions, Kate?

[mistybear]

Lock up your daughters!




Oh, in case Clive, your grand daughters.   

[Clive]

   I'll bear that in mind Kate!  I really hope he has a great time here.
