Hey I need some serious help. I recently sold my pc and unfortunatley the person that bought it now saws it wont boot up cause he says something is wrong with the graphic card, he hasnt given a ton of detail.

Anyway he said that the computer starts to boot up but then gets to disk checker and blue screens and tries to start up again and this keeps going til he shuts it off. He also said when he tried to start it in safe mode it locks up.

The graphic card is a ati 4870x2

Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this? I thought the gpu would flash LEDs if something was wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It could just be the result of spyware in your operating system.

Run a Linux LiveCD. If it loads the operating system fine, then it's a Windows problem.

If it's spyware, a Windows repair would take care of it for a while.

Did you include your HD with the computer, or is he trying to put a different HD in the system?
