CALLING ALL GEEKS! HELP!

[Conor Ryan]

what were you doing before you experinenced the problem? And was there any static around the computer, thats lethal for a lot of compenents.

pss. for this subject i perfer the term Techie, but all 3 for for me.

Nope I am not getting any beeps from my hardware... I also do not think its booting into windows. My reason for this is because after I let it sit for a min, then I go to hit the power button (to turn the machine off)... and it just hangs

Sounds like a hardware problem if it is not booting or posting. Have you installed any new hardware recently?

Nope, non... seems fairly random... I had shut my machine down... went to turn it back on... and *BAM* its not working. I have TONS of work stuff on my mahcine, not to mention school and personal stuff. I am praying that there is no issue with my drives.

i'm also saying a hardware problem, particularly a motherboard or video card problem. I'd start checking my warranties

remove hard drive, backup everything on another computer before carrying on.
Check for anything loose inside.... i lost graphics when the fan fell off the graphics card and it shut itself down for overheating....



and on a semi funny note.... according to

Quantum dynamics are affecting the transistors
