I was simply browsing the web and started experiencing some lag. I had 10-12 tabs open, the screen flickered, then blue screen of death. I was able to restart in safe mode. I figured the problem was software related. I hadn't reformatted in a while, so I decided to reinstall windows. The install process went fine until the "finalizing" step. Upon boot-up, my screen would go black, the graphics card fan would increase RPMs, then my computer restarts. After this second reboot, I was given the option to starting in safe mod. However, I can no longer go in safe mode, because the install was not completed. I suspect this issue is video card related, but I don't have a way to verify this. Any thoughts.
I should note, that in recent months I've received "no video" prompts while loading windows. I thought it was a loose VGA adaptor. I tightened it and had no problems until now.
Specs:
Windows 7
Asus P5Q Deluxe Motherboard
Intel Core TM 2 E8500
8gb DDR2 800 Memory
Nvidia 280 gfx
I'm well aware that my PC is ancient. I'm hoping to find a cheap fix as money is tight right now.
