New Computer Problem.

[localboy2332]

Hello, I am setting up two computers for my brother and there are a few problems. On computer A, I set it up and it ran perfectly. However, the next day the monitor wouldn't turn on. I tested the monitor with another computer and it does work. Also, I replaced the video card with a known working video card and it still doesn't work.

For computer B, it keeps restarting during the middle of installation. I have replaced the power supply, hard drive, and used different windows 98 cds during the installation.

Here are a few stats on the computers:

OS: 98 SE (both)
Mother Board: Asus A7V8X-X (both)
256 MB RAM (both)

If you need any other information, let me know.

Thanks in advanced!
