Well basicly i dont know what happened but i used to play world of warcraft and so i wanted to buy a new graphic card as my one sucked. so i bought the nvidea geforce 5200 and installed the disk and put the card. it worked all right for a couple of months until a couple of weeks ago everytime i switched on the pc the screen wouldnt switch on correctly. it was well plugged buecause every time i switched off and on the screen it would flash where it should be in the switching on. for example Window Xp charging or the chose the account. but the light with that would flash for like half a second. then i restarted it 3 times before i could actually see the screen normally. now the amount of times i have to restart it is atleast 4 or 5. It's also strange that all of this started once i quitted world of warcraft and i didn't put the card into much pressure as i quit any kind of gaming all i do on the pc now is chat and facebook. I blame the graphics card as i dont know wat else to blame. also the screen but the screen is a flat screen from 2004.
Now im going to check for viruses and clean the inside of my computer to see if maybe its dirty from the inside or the card is badly plugged.
