My computer is giving me a hell of a time. I think my friend brought back a Korean computer voodoo curse, and it's affecting my PC. First was the hard drive failing in its spectacular way, then about 2 weeks ago my onboard LAN went out. This happened after my friend had brought his busted ATI card over to see if the freezes and crashes were a result of his card or his motherboard. After his card managed to crash Fallout, the onboard LAN just stopped responding.
Now about 4 days ago, after removing a really old GeForce card I had in my PC for some reason to lend to him, my video card went out. Though I suspect it may be more complex than that. First my computer just used to load from it. I came home to find it in hibernation, and when I tried to wake it up it didn't do anything. And on reboot, the BIOS never came back up. The computer just wouldn't boot. So I got a replacement card, and it started working again. The only problem now is that when I hibernate, one of two things happens. 1) It doesn't come back on and I have to reboot twice to get it working again. If the BIOS detects my backup hard drive while booting up, it never loads Windows into memory, and I have to reboot again. or 2) It loads back into Windows, which is followed by about 5 minutes of the computer freezing about every 10-15 seconds, with it occasionally blacking out and coming back on and telling me "Video driver has stopped responding and successfully recovered." It did this with either video card I used, either the new one or the old backup one. Once while trying to re-install the drivers the whole computer just shut down.
I really suspect I'm having motherboard problems, which is not something I want to happen for rather obvious reasons. Any other ideas?
