Random Shutdown, recently changed Video Card

[crisscross]

Hello,

I read the BSOD posting instructions but unfortunately my PC shuts down before I can run the program.

Sometime back, my video card an Asus X1950 Pro stopped working (Monitor light wouldn't change from amber) I borrowed a friend's video card a 8600GT 512MB DDR2 card temporarily till I could buy a new card.

This worked fine for a couple of days until today when my PC would switch off randomly. No BSOD or restarts just turn off. Can a bad video card do this? or is there something else I should be looking at?

Thank you for your help

Hello Crisscross, welcome to SF!

We really need the info... so please try to take out the grapics card and connect screen to onboard graphics? That should work...
