Computer problems
10 years ago
Well, having a shitty week behind me.
In the night from Wednesday to Thursday, at 3 am in the morning my graphic card died with a white screen and total system crash. It refused to boot unless in safe mode and gave graphic errors even during the BIOS messages.
So I got a new card for ~150€ on Thursday. And today on Saturday my computer refused to start anymore while the Motherboard was beeping that the CPU is missing (AMI BIOS, 8 beeps), also we had no visuals on the screen again. Now I have an old card from my friend in to test if my MB is eating graphic cards now or if I just had no luck with a faulty replacement card. I will bring it in to the retail on monday.
For any input I am grateful because I don't want to have lots of things break when I have to buy a new computer after all.

Hardware changes can cause bios settings to reset, and may need to be reconfigured. Especially if using a RAID setup, that will cause it to fail to boot if the settings are wiped.
