I have a problem. My original computer keeps going on standby mode and I cant get out of it unless my cpu wants to. When I plug out my cpu and turn it back on, the moniter light will just be yellow(just like on standby) and my cpu would just be on. Is there any way to fix this? I'm on a diffrent cpu right now, but if I were to turn on my original one, it'll just be as if it's on stand by.

lalalala

Are you sure it's the graphics card? I'll go out and get one right now, but I wanna know for sure. Maybe it could be the hard drive?

Look through the hardware forum for any number of problems where a system will not bootup. Your problem could be any of a number of things including faulty powersupply, failed graphics card, failed CPU, failed heatsink fan, failed ram, failed motherboard. Simply buying replacement parts without testing the old ones to find which/how many have failed is a waste of time and money. Unless you have another PC that you can swap bits in/out of to test you will be better off taking it to a tech to work out exactly what has failed.

I'm not sure its the graphics card, it just sounded similar to the problem i had. It could be or it could not be.
