I'm still here, virus. I got a new Comp on the 19th, which has been giving me more problems than it has been solving. AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 1280 MB Ram, the most powerful machine i've ever been on / seen, isn't working.

If anyone can help me with this problem I am having, it would be awesome....

Problem: I have an FIC KT-748 Motherboard, which apparently is the only downfall piece of shit in my computer. Upon bootup, the damn thing shuts down, no error or anything, just shuts down. It makes it to the windows XP Desktop, and bye, gone, shut down.... About every 1 in 30 tries it will boot up normally.

Now, I think I narrowed down the problem. I have:

ATI Radeon 9200 8x AGP 128 MB Graphics card - DOESNT WORK

e-GeFORCE 4 MX 440 SE 8x AGP 64 mb Graphics card - DOESNT WORK

e-GeFORCE 4 MX 440 PCI 64 MB Graphics card - WORKS

Based off of that, the PCI Cards seem to work. IF anyone has any idea how in the hell to fix this it would be amazing. I have installed the AGP Drivers from the CD that came with the Motherboard, that doesnt work, i have tried tons of different drivers with different cards, not working.

...I'm beginning to think it's hardware.

Other than that, i have had to format my hard drive, um i think 8 times now. In the process losing all 5k+ of my MP3's and Everquest, so, it's been a bitch. I'm writing this from a Laptop, yay
