so something happened to my gaming pc and it basically went kaput. I dunno what happened to it.

So anyways, I was trying to install win xp on it and basically after it installed, it asks you to reboot. after i did this, it rebooted but the screen stays blank. just a black screen. I have no idea why, and I have wrestled with trying to fix this pc for almost a year now.

does anyone know why this would happen? I was thinking that maybe its because I have an awesome ati radeon video card that my monitor plugs into from the back of the pc tower and maybe after i installed xp I no longer had the driver or whatever software it takes for my pc to run that card. thats just my guess..im at a loss as to what the hells wrong.

any ideas, tips, advice, nuggets of wisdoms? haha.

seriously, its the most frustrating thing ever. ive put good money into that pc and it kills me to watch it sit there not working, especially when I have no idea why it wont work.

oh yeah, also i tried switching out the hard drive for another one and that didnt do anything at all. I dont know if thats relevant or not..
