    I bought this computer new.Aw has replaced most of the parts.The video card is going again.The computer is a m7700 witha nVidia 6800 ultra. I bought a NEW nVidia 7800 GTX card from a ebayer with a good rep and many sales.This new card should be compatable. Now when I put the new card in the computer wont power up.The led power light dosnt come on and the power supply light is flashing. I put the old one in and it puwers up but runs like crap. I tried this swap back and forth several times and always get the same thing. What should I do? thanks
