i3 3.2ghz, 8gb ram, 2gb nvidia GeForce gt 630 (had a 1gb ati radeon 5450 - I think), windows 7, dell Inspiron 580.
The ati failed after I reinstalled windows 7.... Then I installed the GeForce gt 630...after this bios takes some time to load, then as the pc boots into windows it shuts down for around 2-3 minutes then suddenly powers up and the desktop appears.
I checked each stick of ram by booting the pc up using only 1 stick at a time (2gb x 4)....problem occurred using all four sticks.
I ran startup repair which made no difference, so
I then reinstalled windows again and this made no difference....
Is it possible the graphics card is causing this? Should I be concerned?
I don't have the best knowledge of hardware so any correct advice would be greatly appreciated.
