Hello. I have a HP media center pc that recently stopped working. I put a new graphics card on it and installed Windows 7, but besides that it's stock. What happened is when I turned it on, it would work fine for a little while then the screen would go black and the power switch would flash from orange to blue. I would then kill it's power, and restart it. It would do the same thing but die even faster. Now it's to the point where I can't even turn it on, it just instantly does the power flashing thing. I'm going to let it sit for a little while in case it overheated, but I don't think that is the problem. Thanks

I just tried booting it up with a different power supply, and this time it started like normal, and let me use the desktop for a few seconds then it bluescreened. It didn't have any text on the screen, just solid blue.

Uh oh hopefully operating on that faulty power supply for an extended period of time didn't effect you motherboard negatively
