Hello all,
Lately I have been getting zappings when i first boot on my pc (running XP Pro). The start screen is black and I see some white static light (lines?)
whenever I turn on the pc before it settle down to showing the Windows Logo. My graphic card is new (ATI 5770 Radeon Xfire). But this has
happened before i installed the new grahpic card. Also i get black screen for now and then in the middle of work for about a few seconds before it
resume back to whatever I was at (or doing). So far it has not crashed nor freeze. I have 4G Kingston Ram but the System is showing 4G Ram and
it also shows that only 2.9G is useable. Could the ram be the problem? 2 previous sticks were good (showing to be 2G as working-healthy) and
the new additional 2 G shows up as a total of 4G but 2.9 as useable. Could it be a ram slot problem?
MB : Asus A8N32-SLI Bus Clock 200Mghz
CPU: 2.2 ghz AMD athlon 64 socket 939
250G HDD WD with 210GFreespace
ATI Radeon 5700 XFire fully updated
Thank you very much.
