Just wanted to get some opinions
1) My computer Sunday first started acting up by having the Ethernet port all of a sudden not work. Any time I plug the cable into the back of the computer I have no light, and my computer doesn't recognize that. Figured I would just get a PCI Ethernet card to fix the situation and use a USB WiFi stick for the next couple days.
2) Started getting BSOD's out of nowhere when I never had any issues before. The computer would just shut down at various times, running different programs. I ended up (and now regretting) re-formatting my hard drive and re-installing Windows, hoping that would solve the problem. Turned out that wasn't the issue, as the BSOD continued last night once I reformatted the entire hard drive.
3) Around 9 PM last night, my computer had another BSOD and this time would not start. No beeps, just a black screen. Tried resetting the BIOS and had no luck, tried various memory stick options with no luck. I basically had it down to my hard drive, CPU, power supply and still had nothing. I'd like to assume its the motherboard mainly because of that Ethernet issue I was having. Maybe the board was starting to go and just finally went last night? Figured I would get some opinions before purchasing a new one. I suppose the power supply could be another option, but that Ethernet port really makes me believe its the motherboard. Thanks in advance!
