I was having an issue with my video card, could this be a problem, i wasnt sure cause if it was, i thought that the processer and etc would still work just wouldnt be able to see anythig, anyways any help is appreciated thank you.

If you want to mail it to me i can fix that for you. or try....if you know someone with a pc maybe you could take your video card to them and install it in theres just to see if it boots and they have video. Sometime you can take the video card and memory out and just put it back in. If you dont have fans running in your pc you may have more problems......

Like what kind of PSU. Processor, Memory Type DDR2 or DDR3, Motherboard model, also any third party heatsink, how many Fans, how many Hard Drives and Optic Drives, are you using a lot different USB devices connected to the machine. All this information is Helpful in making a determination of the problem. But for now with what you have posted, I will agree with LaRSin it might be the PSU.

Took the bad card out, put the good one in the first slot - 2 weeks later same problem, second card OOO too - tried a cheap 250 NVidia during 2 months, no problem, and now running since 1 1/2 year with 295 GTX dual core card - problems gone. Probably the SLI strap (or the typical Caribbean humidity on it ) was the origin of the loss of 2 the 9800 GTX-es..... Just try all the steps described above.... a UPS is more than important, but to go for shure get youself an old videocard to expermiment...
