in your first post.....


you said that you actually had your machine running... you played css...

then shut down........


only after you shut down and re boot did you get this problem...


well atm im thinking that if u rebuild ur system... as you did before.. and re install... as you did before....

it should work.. as it did before....

if this time it dosent work.. then it looks very likely to be a hardware prob...


if it all works fine and you boot up for the first time as you did before...

then we know its a river problem...

either wway we manage to narrow it down to either software or hardware.

now.... if its hardware... it will be the case of building with minimal stuff...

or even if you can hijack stuff from another comp and test out ur stuff individually

if its driver and ur using vista.. then i dont know tbh

but like i said before i suggest you try with xp as its more stable and more reliable than vista.
