Yep... My new one. I shut it down before I left to come home this weekend. It stayed at Bradley off for about a day, from Saturday at 2 to Sunday at 5ish. Turn it on Sunday... XP load bar comes up, finishes and... Light gray screen. No desktop no nothing. Restart it 50 times tryinng all different safe modes. Get into the Command Prompt, run a thorough Check Disk on a 400GB Hard drive. That took like 5 hours. Still didn't fix it. Reinstalled Windows XP over the old one, you know, you go into XP setup, choose the old install and press R or something. Seemed to be working, restarts, right in the middle of the "Installing Device Drivers" it asks me for the disk for me Nvidia network card. I put in my mobo's CD. Another minute passes and whammo. "OUT OF RANGE - 115HZ - 150HZ IS THIS CORRECT?", followed by my monitor going into standby mode. The XP install is still running but I can't see it, so now I need to go find someone with an LCD to hook up to it I hope. I don't even know what monitors run in that range. My monitors max is 100. Anyways, that is why I haven't been on the last two days. This post is being made from my room mates Ibook laptop. That's how bad it is... Sad I'm on a mac... I can't beleive this happened so soon. The computers like 1.5 months old...
