I just cleared the bios by battery & reinstalled the vid card & ram & it turned on , ive done it before, sometimes it works & the pc works fine for a few days but then suddenly the problem comes back...its a strange & difficult problem, I would be very greatful if solution is provided.

If it's a RAM issue, try to clean the part which is connected to the motherboard with a pencil eraser. Simple yet effective.

Believe it or not, I just did it before I post this comment. :lol: 

If it's still not resolved yet, try using a single piece of RAM first and see how it turns out. If using 1 stick of RAM resolves your issue, while using the other recreates it, then you've found the cause of your problem. :)

do you get any beeps from the mobo or any diagnostic lights in the front of the case when this happens.?


Ok so your not failing your POST then. Have you tried to reseat your video card, have you tried booting in safe mode, are there newer drivers out there. If i was you the first step would be to check all connections, try another monitor (if available), and then probably try another video card or onboard.

I had tried different gpu, onboard video, different monitor....but when it goes out nothing can be done by me.. & after a month or so when i just once again remove the mobo battery to reset the bios, it just starts again , works for a few days & then again the same condition returns....I am very disappointed with my pc. Can any one plz figure it out.

You have some kind of automatic overclocking / optimizing setting enabled in BIOS?
Resetting the BIOS back to defaults seems to help so there could be automatic changes there that are creating issues.

The only thng i changed in bios is the cpu vcore voltage @ 1.375v for phenom 2 965 C3 revision, which if left to auto goes 1.47v which i think is really high, is 1.375 v too low for this processor?

Well dude people here are trying to figure out every possible solution, I can only assume your graphics card is defective somewhere on that card there is a fault, Possibly one of the RAMDAC's is torched.

mmmmmmmm hi there it could be a busted capacitor/s in your mobo,i had this problem just two days ago from a client..... what i did is replaced the busted caps with the same voltage and microfarad... some soldering skills required... hope this help
