hello,
i have a home built computer that was running fine.
512 MB RAM
2000 XP+
Soltek 75DRV5
GeForce 4 MX 420
I was having some overheating issues, so I decided to switch out some components and get a new video card. I got a Cyclone fan, another 512 MB of Ram, and an ATI 9250. I installed all at the same time. Now, the computer won't boot. The power is getting there, but it won't even make it to bios. Basically, the power turns on and off by itself. Any ideas as to why it would do that? I noticed something, when I switched out the old fan, it had a shim (?). I didn't reinstall the shim with the new fan. Would that be an issue? I did this last night, so I haven't had the chance to take out each component and test. IF you know of any reason why this would happen, let me know. Thanks.
