    Angry spontaneous shutdown and video errors

    Hello all,

    was using my computer as normal
    (Athlon XP 64-bit 3200
    GA-K8NS mobo
    1 gb ram
    Ati X800 Pro
    SATA HDD
    Win XP Home)
    and plugged in a usb device (my smartphone) and at the same time my usb mouse turned off. Attempts to turn it back on told me that 'a usb device has malfunctioned'. Anyway, I restarted, without the mouse, and plugged in the mouse. It wouldnt work. I took it out.

    A few seconds after that, it turned off. So I started it up again. It began to load windows, then turned off. I turn it on, it starts the POST, it turns off.

    I manage to get it into Safe Mode, and everything (except the mouse) works fine. So I restart. It starts to load windows etc...
    Then after a few more tries, after showing the windows loading logo, I get a bluescreen telling me the ATi driver is in a loop. So I turn it off, then start in safe mode. But when it gets to safe mode, it crashes!

    Sorry for the long explanation, but since I can't see whats causing this, thought I'd better explain it fully. This is so random!

    edit: after writing this, it wont turn on at all!

    Any thoughts?!

    As a computer, I find your faith in technology amusing.
