That is the fakest hill billy picture ever.

Jeff you need more ram in that machine it shall run like shit with 4 gig. I would still argue your choice in video card but to each his own.

did you take your laptop apart and make sure it's dry on the inside. while you have it apart try booting it up without the keyboard connected.

a lot of laptops won't boot with a shorted keyboard. A new laptop keyboard can usually be had for around 50

next time take it apart first before you try to boot it on. That can be the difference between replace a part and replacing a laptop.
