Hi all,

I purchased a gateway way back in 2007 it's this model

http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/FX530_Series/1009171/10...

E6600 core 2 with ati x1950 cross fire.

Over the years I have replaced old cross fire with a single ati 7600 hd , and upgraded from 2 gb to 4 gb ram.

It's has been working great but recently I have had the problems where I start the computer but the screen is blank. I dont think the video card is running...usually i can heard it kick in when i start up computer. Only solution was to unplug the power cord and re plug after 5 mins it seems to be able to kick start the computer.

The frequency of this happening has become more often, any solutions?

Thanks,

Kevin

Sounds off hand as though your PSU is failing - if you have access to a known working PSU, you might try a swap
