What's POST? The crash occurs after the windows logo (user selection) or on the desktop immediately after startup. My friend disabled the video card and now I'm back to running my old integrated card just fine.
XL talks about a weakened PSU; my comp is around 4 years old. In addition, during the time I was using this video card it had already started out being weird. If I leave the computer off for an extended period of time, such as overnight, it will crash the morning I turn it back on. After a reboot it will work fine. As I don't really know much about computers and I didn't want constant crashes, I left on my computer everyday. For extended periods of time upwards to a week without restarting (had no problems with anything). For Windows update and such though I would restart. Oddly enough, shutdowns and restarts under a short period of time wouldn't yield a crash.
Also, I've run games such as TF2 and BC2 with no problems. I play on a PS2 emulator everyday and nothing happens. I problem just seemed to start after playing the mmo.
