Comment: hey guy i built my mates computer and i am having a dew issues. some that i havnt seen but some i have. 1 is that on boot it will just to go a black screen with a white flshing line in the top right. the only way i have found to go round it is by restarting it more than once or trying to get into bios. other issues it has is turning off by its self or rebooting or sometimes just pausing(havnt seen it happen)so i bought a new power supply but wasnt the issue. cheers for reading my sob story. please help me out cheers

Reply: Flashing white cursor = BIOS locating bootable device. No Sound = Install Sound Driver. I would say you have a hardware problem first and foremost, time to strip back and benchtest with minimal hardware..... Maybe read the motherboard manual in case the memory you bought is incompatable!!
