My computer boots, but after repeated strain of hard drive and monitor windows 7

Shane:
It is possible it is the power supply.

I had it happen to me, let me explain.

On my own system when I turned my computer on for the first time in the morning my video would have lines through it and lock up. Hit reset and it worked just fine and never even crashed. I could play all the games I wanted, no lock up or crash. This only happened when I turned it on.

What it turned out being was the power supply. When I put in a new one the problem hasnt happen again since. What was happening was the power supply wasnt giving enough power for the video card, but after the power supply was on for about 10 sec or so it was "warmed" up and then worked just fine.

So with you getting no screen and such it could be the system isnt getting enough power. So if your able try a new power supply. Always possible to be motherboard or cpu as well, but power supply is a lot easy to test by simply trying another one if you can get one.

Hi shane I also thought of it.
I am using ups for a long time and would it not supply the enough power required. i do not know.
How to check the power supply from ups. It was working fine hitherto.
Should i change the charge battery of ups. It is apc ups of minimum power,for one computer,1/2kva
                Hi, Shane due to power surge in case of sudden cut of power supply, I am using the ups. Do you mean the load, or the phase of electricity supply?
                I have done the chkdsk on c drive. It stays at a file for some time and then it finished properly and reported 0 bad sectors. Please your advice

Hey!

   I had a problem the other day with my ups back up (causing my system to shutdown under load). The battery was bad. I moved to a bigger ups back up...problem solved.

Shane:
Easiest way to see if it is your battery backup is to plug the computer directly into the wall instead and see how it does. If it still does it then try the power supply, but if it works fine when plugged into the wall then you know it is your battery backup :wink:
