It's possible that the crashes are caused by a virus. Have you performed a full scan with your anti virus software? Maybe i'm reading your posts incorrectly but I think you've only just installed the anti virus and firewall software. It makes me suspect something nasty could be lurking on your...

Does your PSU have a 24pin power connector? If your previous mobo had the older 20 pin power connector then perhaps you need to upgrade your power supply as the Asus K8n 754 requires 24 pin power.

Make sure that your new card is the same socket as the old one. I think your 7300LE will be a PCI-express card and some 7800's are still AGP. You need to make sure that the new card is PCIe as well (assuming your current card is).

Have you got any other firewall or anti virus software installed that is active and up to date?

AsRock do a motherboard that supports AGP and PCIe :- ebuyer.com - Components » Motherboards » Socket 939 Athlon & 940 Opteron » Product details I know this is a UK site but its just so you can see it. You could keep your video card and upgrade later if you need to. I've got the same...

Agreed. If you cant even get into the BIOS it sounds most likely.

Nvidia make the geforce chipset. Xfx, asus and gainward are manufacturers who make video cards using the geforce chipset under licence. The processor that powers all 7900GT cards will be mostly identical (some have more memory than others or will be clocked at higher speeds) but at the core they...

Bear in mind that the 550:1 contrast ratio isnt as good as some, although for CAD work, games and normal Windows stuff its perfectly good. You may find that if you watch a lot of movies on your PC the black areas might not be as black as you want. For me its not a problem but just thought i'd...

Heres a 3rd option :- ebuyer.com - Components » Graphics Cards » nVIDIA GeForce 7 Series » Product details I haven't heard of a Novatech card and personally I would prefer a known brand for backup if it was needed. Gainward is a devent brand but the card you've shown is a little pricey I...

I agree with Big B, its far more important to see the monitor in action if you can, the difference between screens is far bigger than CRT's used to be. I can recommend this BenQ model, I've got the 17" version and for the money its amazing. Clear and fast. £150 for a 19" TFT isn't bad either...

Do you have any active and updated anti virus or firewall software installed? Event 1802 means out of memory, which in itself is quite random. But it seems that it could be linked with your installation of Norton :- WMI - wmi and the norton antivirus 2005 Try completely uninstalling...

Check the event viewer and see what the event code is just before reboot. Run that number through the Microsoft website. I had exactly the samr problem and it just required a simple registry alteration. The next likely candidate is a faulty memory stick, which I have also suffered from in the...

I agree that it's not needed, but depending on how many photos you're messing with and what software you're using it can be desirable. :)

If its a belkin router then it could be the power adaptor. I had two belkin power supplies fail on me for no apparent reason.

Standard reply 4 :- What does the event manager say just before the restart?

What does the event manager show when the PC shuts down?

I'd be tempted to go for 2GB memory for digital imaging, the files can be quite big for hi res photos. Perhaps a PSU from a more reputable manufacturer (antec never failed me). Although your system is low spec a bad PSU can still cause problems. Good luck.

Try running the PC with the side off the case and a fan blowing into the machine if you have one. That should cool the card down a bit if its running hot. Is the AGP aperature set to 256MB in the BIOS? If your PSU isnt supplying enough power at 620W then nothing will!

You can also get the 7600GT on the net for about £140. ebuyer.com - nVIDIA GeForce 7600GT If you can afford the faster card though, why not get that? :)

I had the same problem happen to me on a new build and it was the PSU. I havent heard of Aspire as a PSU manufacturer (unless they're well known in the USA) and I suspect thats where your problem is. Try booting the PC with the Optical drive(s) unplugged, any unecessary case fans or lights...
