That's what i meant when i said bare i.e. outside case with enough parts and cables connected to boot up into bios where by i could then install other parts one by one till i either found my problem or could get to installing windows.

The system is an Athlon II X2 (Previously AM3 phenom II x2), 4gb of ddr2 ram, gtx460 1gb and a OCZ 500w PSU. The system previously powered on but i would get no display from my graphics card nor would it POST so i tested it all barebones swapping out parts where i had spares kicking about but...

Tried everything possible including running things bare, run individual ram and in various slots, bios restting from battery and shorting pin on motherboard, swapping graphics card and PSU.......etc.

My system died and i had the motherboard replaced the other day to which i originally put in my old CPU only to get problems so bought a new CPU and now i am back to having the same problem as i originally had even with the new CPU on the new motherboard. My question is, were my CPU faulty...

**she's in ireland and i'm in scotland so all i was going by is what she told me she had done, what was there or not and anything that had happened when she booted up into windows before finding this problem. Anyway what i was told is that she turned on her PC and none of her programs where...

A system restore was tried and no luck there but will get her to make a new profile and see if that helps.

So i have a friend who had problems with her user account in vista which i tired to fix but it failed to get her user account back although she did get all her files back and backed up so it's all good. Anyway all her start menu shortcuts to things like firefox, itunes...etc are missing...

So having the DVI to HDMI cable i already have go from my GPU via HDMI to my monitor via the DVI will work?

So i'm upgrading my monitor to 22" a that has VGA and DVI as it's connections but doesn't come with a DVI cable and at the moment i don't and won't have one before i get the monitor. I have a DVI to HDMI cable though and i'm wondering if it's possible to use it the other way round and have it...

Great, thanks for the responses. Was hoping i wouldn't have to get a bigger PSU since the 500w is fairly new.

Simple question, would a HD4890 run ok on an OCZ StealthXStream 2 500W Power Supply - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-045-OC The system it's going into would more than likely have a Phenom II X4 925 or similar, 2 x 7200RPM HDD's, an ODD, 3 or 4 fans.

Looking for the same things as the power, reset....etc cables are not long enough to fit onto my motherboard (Using an antec 900 case). Found the cables as above but so far none for the buttons although if i find any i will post here.

Well i got Battlefield 1943 pre-order and MOH Airbourne which got me a £5 discount plus i had £19 in my paypal so didn't really have to spend any money from my bank account.

I was trying to get Medal of Honor Airborne™ which is £9.99 but all it shows is a £1 discount and using the code in the Promo code box doesn't do anything? *Edit i think it works now as i got a -£5 discount" *Edit Nope not working as i decided to get myself Battlefield 1943 pre-order and still...

Cheers. Do i put them in as a Promo Code or what becuase it's not giving me anything off when i hit apply so not sure if i'm doing something wrong?

Should be ok now

Any left?? if so i'd appreciate one.

By the proper account i mean the default account called Administrator that was disabled. I know its probably just the same as my own user account that is set to administrator but i thought i should at least try it. The message say i don't have OS privileges to install Dirt2 and that i need to...

Already have UAC set to minimum as that's the first thing i do after windows 7 gets installed. It seems the problem is affecting other programs as well which got me suspicious to there being something bigger wrong than a simple UAC or whatever setting.

So i decided to download the DiRT2 demo from one of the links on the codemasters site so i could see how well it runs on my computer but i was getting an error about admin privileges when trying to install even though my user account was setup as an admin and i've never had this problem before...
