Here goes. Today I try to start my computer (see specs)

Well, the motherboard doesnt boot (beep sound) and I thought what the hell and left it alone. Tried to start agin after an hour, well it started this time, but as soon as it reached the Windows logo(win 7), it just restarted. and this time agin no beep sound, just a blank (black) screen and the cpu fan humming away at full speed
I thought windows was corrupt, so I took out uBuntu 10.10 live dvd and well, I'm typing this from there. So HDD is fine. BTW, i randomly removed one of my memory (RAM) and this is the result, I'll try with both again with uBuntu. Then it will be a confirmed WINDOWS problem
Now the concern is, while uBuntu was starting up, for a few seconds the entire screen went haywire with lines of colour. I thought GFX was KAPUT, but uBuntu is running fine after that, although I havn't installled any Linux drivers yet.

Now the thing is the same weird emulsion of colours appeared all around the WINDOWS logo while starting up, and then it restarted.

So guys, is it a GRAPHICS CARD problem??? I just cant figure out. I'm gonna test my other RAM now. Everything else is fine, backing up my data as I type.

Has anyone faced a similar problem? If it's gfx then good its under warranty I'll send it for RMA right away.
 
Install ur graphic card in some one else's PC and check... that whether the same problem occurs in his machine or not... If not then try to clean install windows...

See in my case the culprit was PSU... Even my computer used to restart randomly but this problem got solved when i replaced the VX550 and installed S12D 750w...

Exactly the issue I am facing for the last 2-3 weeks.. I used the GParted Live CD & got into the system.. looks like I need to reinstall the OS...
 
Sorted the issue, it's my RAM Stick. One of them has gone kaput. Fortunately Corsair said just bring 'em over to our Nehru Place center, if it's faulty, we'll replace both.
