Answer» Hello all
I have a Dell XPS 410 with windows vista home premium.
Intel Core 2 CPU 4300 @1.80 GHz 1.79 GHz
2gbs of RAM
32 bit
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS
Now my problem is that my computer turns on with its fans at full power, but no boot screen or anything. A couple days ago my dad left the computer on sleep and when i wanted to use it i got on and moved the mouse, and when i did that the fans started up as they usually do, but this time there was nothing on the monitor so i just rebooted. And of course my computer was messed up. No boot screen with fans on HIGH power.
First thing that came to my mind was to just let the computer cool down, and in the morning when i tried powering the computer the same problem. So i turned on my psp and went on the internet for a SOLUTION, found out that the BIOS might be flawed or something and required a reset.
Yesterday I reset the bios and sure enough the computer ran fine. Then at night i turned it off, and today i turned it back on and the same problem. So i took out my computers battery, and just waited and now the computer is running fine. But i am sure that if i turn off my computer and back on, the computer will still turn on with no boot screen with fans on high power.
I am sure that this is in no way a software problem.
Also, when i turn my computer on, the nvidia fan first turns on then, the main fan turns on.
Thanks in advance. try to take out the video card and then boot up! also what size power supply do you have???I dont know the size of my power supply, but i would guess its a medium.
Also, I heard that the motherboard was to blame, and i would much rather know the problem for sure before i get down and actually lossen some screw from my system.
well is your video card built into the motherboard or is it a card if it is your talking about just taking your case off and unscrewing the video card and removing it not very hard to test!
these are sure common
i would say a am problem
sometimes a tempoary
fix is to run the computer without batteryDUDE
Today i took the battery out and put it back in and it still was like that. Then i took the battery out

Well its not attached to the motherboard Quote from: iliekcandy on August 28, 2009, 03:29:43 PMWell its not attached to the motherboard
i would probably try it with the video card taken out just to RULE out a power supply issue!Quote from: zonatedace on August 28, 2009, 08:57:31 PM i would probably try it with the video card taken out just to rule out a power supply issue!
and i wonder how you tell if its booting without the video card?Quote from: smeezekitty on August 28, 2009, 03:12:13 PMthese are sure common
