Solve : Black screen on startup? |
|
Answer» HELLO, I was wondering if someone might be able to help me. I just moved to a new house, and after putting my computer together and starting up, I am just getting a black screen. The LED light on my monitor turns green, then right away it turns orange. My computer sounds normal, however I noticed there's no beep when I turn it on. Also, when I hit the restart button on the CPU, nothing happens. If I hit it again, it starts beeping over and over again. The only way to turn it off is to unplug it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Since you have recently moved i WOULD un-hook all power to the unit and double-check all your connections... There's the possibility something GOT dis-lodged inside the CASE but let's take this one step at a time.Double check all you external connections. During a move a computer is exposed to vibration and this time of the year, cold. Vibration can unseat a component (or connection) and cold can work on the little nickel-sized CMOS battery. The source of power at the new location can be out of spec. Are you comfortable working inside a computer ?Thank you so much for your help! I had a friend recommend that I remove and re-install the graphics card and RAM. I wanted to get a can of AIR first though since it was so dusty in there. Right before I was about to go to the store to get it, I decided to try one more time, and lo and behold it booted up just fine! You're welcome...stop by anytime. And don't put off that housekeeping for too long... |
