[Phalanx]

I won't go into too many details...I'll just say that if you decide to dust your own pc, you'd better be plenty careful if you're fucking about anyplace NEAR your chip.
I put it back in wrong, like...a TINY unnoticeable bit wrong, didn't bridge some gap completely or push it in all the way, something like that.
Anyway, everything gone. Even the memory and cpu.

Sooo...got a new one.
I didn't supervise the buy, so I ended up with the same tower (I have a nice soprano thermaltake) and power supply, both fairly new...the dvd drive was also salvagable. I have an external burner so it's all good.

So, this one's got 2 2 gig HDs, a motherboard that you can throw two seperate graphics cards into, onboard sound, extra ?RAM? a P4 3.1GIG processor (upgraded from 2.6) yknow, some other random shit that makes a pc work, and a graphics card called a 'GeForce 7300GS' I understand that one's quite ok, but I'm not sure...can anyone tell me what I'm dealing with here?

That's what I got.

There's a slight problem I just thought I'd run by you folks first.
The video files, eg - avi 'n stuff, they play fine through realplayer and wmp, but for some reason they look really DARK.
NB: The rest of the applications run at regular brightness, it's only a problem with the video files specifically. I have tried things I've played prior to the last pc dying, and they ran fine before, now they play dark too.
So, any ideas what I need to do here?
