Re: Can you advice or help me please..
To help me with this question, can you tell me....
1. What OS are you using with this PC, XP or Vista
2. Is your original graphics card attached to the motherboard or is it seperate
3. What type of graphics card are you using. PCI or AGP and the make (if possible)
I can give a more accurate answer knowing these.
In the meantime have you checked the device manager for any defects in the drivers etc?
Go to....
Control Panel
System
Hardware
Device Manager
OR
A quicker way is to press the Windows Key and pres the Pause|Break button to bring up the system window
In the window you'll see lots of devices with + signs next to them, click on each and if you see a yellow ? next to one then there is a problem with the particular device, try installing a up to date driver from the manufactures website

Re: Can you advice or help me please..
Hi wiz, thanks for your message, hope you get a relaxing weekend 
Ok first off, OS is XP,
The orignal graphics card was a slot in, which we removed and uninstalled.
The graphic card we are using is a PCI-E, manufacturer is XFX The card is a Nvidia 7900 GTX, 512mb DDR3.
Just checked what you said, and there's no yellow y's..... 
Someone has mentioned the graphics card might be trying to suck to much power on the 12v rail? we have upgraded to a Seasonic S12(II)-500watt psu. could this be the problem or part of it??

Re: Can you advice or help me please..
Have asked an IT guy here at work your question, he says you could try with the older PSU, and see if that works, or try the old graphics card.
I'm just wondering if all of the wires are in the right place. The PSU may have some wires that look the same, but are for different components to stop them overloading one of the 'rails' in the PSU.
Also, if you use the NEW psu and the OLD graphics card does it work fine?
Have a try at that and if nothing works that way, gt back to me here on what you tried etc
