problems - screen goes black then reboots
Made a new PC, Gigabyte k7 Triton with a AMD3200,
Maxtor 80gig IDE drive, ATI all in wonder Radeon. I'm running WINME which I used on my old system. I can use the pc for a while but for no reason the screen will go black, no signal to my screen. I hit escape and then the pc will (sometimes) reboot itself. I was ordering some stuff online and as I filled out the checkout form the PC went black on me. Never had this before with previous pc's I've built!! Can anyone help? TIA MATT UK |

TIA MATT UK WILD GUESS . . . you recycled the case and power supply from a previous system, right? If not, sounds like the brand new power supply is WAY under-sized. -Dave |

Power supply is underpowered.
Monitor is bad. Files are corrupt in the OS. You definitely should get rid of the WIN ME. Win98 SP2 is a better OS than WinME! This could easily be the WinME. ME has the option to revert to a previous setting like WinXP. You might try that! Made a new PC, Gigabyte k7 Triton with a AMD3200, Maxtor 80gig IDE drive, ATI all in wonder Radeon.

Charles astounded us with:
: Power supply is underpowered. Monitor is bad. Files are corrupt in the OS. You definitely should get rid of the WIN ME. Win98 SP2 is a better OS than WinME! Win Me has a couple of faults, it's driver database is limited, and it is lousy as an upgrade, but as a clean install, it's fine, and fast. |

Winme is slightly better than Win98SP2 which is an OS I happen to like, in fact I was running it when the problems started but I have got WinME up because Win98 isn't very good with the latest Nortons package. I have checked the Bios, even updated it. |
