So, I was finally finished on building my own computer.
Since I couldn't get a new hard drive because of money reasons. I had to install my old hard drive to the new motherboard I had
It was a hassle to install my (old hard drive) to my new motherboard and such.
I finally got my computer up and running with the OS running as Windows Vista, brand new, all set up, I was so glad that I thought I was finally done.
But somethings missing.. right, the graphics card.
I turned off the computer, and installed the graphics card on the PCI slot,
and I turned my computer back on.
The computer starts up, display turns on, showing the "PNY GTX 620 GEFORCE 2008-2013" etc etc, then just shuts off almost instantly, then powers back on, and does the same thing in a cycle.
So I just turned off my computer, thinking it was the cards problem, so I removed the card, And guess what? Same thing happened again..
Moments after trying to figure out what happened to my computer, the display just stopped showing, I thought it was the hard drive that went bad or something, so I unplugged, and tried a different hard drive from another computer I had to see if something shows up on display, nothing happened.
So I'm sitting here.. puzzled by what went wrong.
Did I just ruin my motherboard for being ignorant?
