Didn't really know where else to post this but I figured someone must have some idea what's wrong with my PC.
I had been using the psu from my pc to test some parts from another pc when I replaced the psu and turned on the pc it made a strange sound. It sounded like the fan was hitting something but I couldn't see any obstructions. I looked up at the monitor and noticed that all of the writing was messed up. Where it normally says Athlon 1800+ it now said Athl0on 11MHz, the whole page was like that, characters had been switched with other random characters. It continued on, just as it was finishing loading windows it just turned itself off.
It's been doing the same ever since. I've tried a different PSU but that had no effect. I really don't wanna go out and buy a new motherboard untill i'm certain I need one.
Anyone got any ideas?
