This is a common fault when certain additional graphics cards are used.
2 options. 1) remove add on graphics card and boot with onboard card. OR
2) inbios check that you have enabled support for any addon cards.

When i had this problem i needed to get a new motherboard. That fixed it right up

Hey same problem but have a fix basily just do this

1. press ctrl + alt+ delete to bring up task manger
2. Make a new task
3.In the box that pops up just type "explorer.exe" no speach marks
4. Your desktop should come up im afraid this may be to a virus you will have to do this every time it loads up so i recomend a virus scan if you have no virus protection just go here
http://download.cnet.com/... its avg free its lasts forever and suits you virus needs (getting rid off)

Switching the memory didn't solve my problem. i was burning a CD and it froze, so i hit the restart button and from that last action, my computer stopped coming up... WHAT TO DO!!!!

Dude
think this may be because of your monitor. is your monitor showing the POST or are you able to enter bios. If not, certainly, your monitor is faulty. First check your monitor cable and try a new one. If problem persists, try connecting another monitor.

3 things:

1- if PC powers up (power light comes on) but nothing else happens = Bad Motherboard or Proccessor

2- Re-seat the memory

3-if PC powers up and it beeps (count the beeps and google it). One beep is normal, more then one = ERROR

4-Swap monitors to make sure it's not monitor.


ps: if you added anything new to the system like a PCI, AGP..anything. it might be a PS issue(not powerfull enough)

good luck!

Check the cable of your monitor and if nothing happens then check your video card. If again when you open the power of your pc and still the same, you can try to change your video card or again if nothing happens then you should buy another computer coz your pc is dead.....

1. check the RAM is seated
2. Try any other RAM
3. still the same problem check the video or graphics card , if any
4. if no graphics card and problem stiil changing it clear your CMOS by removing battery
5. if its new system then, remove battery, then take a small wire piece and short the positive and negative of the battery socket, then only CMOS is cleared
6. still problem , check the processor heat sink
7. still problem then suggesting checking motherboard and processor

I posted number 17 on here I forgot to ask... what the heck else could be the problem? I mean I used lower rated equipment to ensure the psu wasn't being drained, the mobo seems okay as the ram test is carried out normally... what should i do?

My computer powers up all lights, fans, hdd and vga fan.. but nothing comes up on screen.... have checked all connections and monitor... was working fine... now nothing on screen

Talked to a tech about the same issue, he stated in getting another power supply. Because of the power supply going bad it cant push everything. Get another power supply then repost if the problem is fixed or still the same. Makes since if you think about it, Its like having a weak battery on a car you have enough juice to run the electricals such as radio,turn signals, and dome lights but wont start the engine... Try getting another Power supply..... its weak.
