I am not a techie so forgive any lack of clarity here. What I though was my graphics card, died. Blue and green flashes of colour after five minutes use of the computer. Safe mode ran fine but anything else ten minutes nvidia would say it had crashed, the disco of lights began and then the screen went black and we would begin again. New graphics card arrives I insert and get so signal/black screen. After half an hour I revert to my old card just to see if it's something else gone wrong. Now I am getting a black screen with lines of aa aaa aaaa with hyphons above them and a message saying select proper boot device.
If at the end of this anybody knows what I've managed to balls up please let me know as I am lost now.
P.s. I also get blue dots on the boot screen when using my old card
Old card is nvidia 8800gs
New card 8800gt
Asus motherboard no idea past that.
Thank you for your consideration of someone who does not know what the heck he is doing.
