Solve : help..i have a puter down and not sure why...? |
|
Answer» running windows xp .... yes i have tried modem..which is really a network...dsl..home network..So, with the ethernet card removed, it still locks up, right? What make and model is this computer? What are the hardware specs on it? The ethernet card is a PCI card, right? So, did that computer not have an onboard LAN port? If you just disconnect the Cat5 cable from your computer to physically disconnect from the Internet and use the computer for other tasks, will it run right or freeze up at some point?the computer will not do anything but turn on and show its lights...no keyboard ..no monitor...no mouse...as if it was over CLOCK on its proccesor.. but there would be no reason for that do to what i said happen in events to this coming to be as i stated before..if you read above...i have check board out now and even left battery for set up memory out for 2 hrs.... the mother board and all the circuits look good ..nothing popped or blown... the battery is good ..i just tested on this computer.... I do not know why when the computer froze and was turned off by switch on power supply would cause the puter to not send a signal to monitor or even not the keyboard...I push CAPS lock or num lock and no lights appear ...not even when first turn on.... Only possible thing i can think of is the power supply has shorted some how and is sending to much power to mother board..although i could be wrong ..I just do not now what is causeing it not to even send a signal to either things... edit: if it matters there are no pretest beeps either...both dvd/cd ROM drives stay light up all the time and can not open then to even take out a disk....only way to power down is swiych on power supply or pull the plug. Again ..any ideas will help.. thxStrip the system of everything but the motherboard / video / RAM. Boot the system. Do you POST? If so, start adding one component at a time, starting with the keyboard, mouse, etc., until the system fails. Usually the last component installed is the culprit...though not always. Alan <>< did that ...right down to just all mother board funtions..the basics...still no signal...on anything I even dissconnected hard drive to get even a no os present..nothing... I hooked up an older monitor to see if it would post on that ..same no signal...Do you have another power cord from wall to computer to try?Is it set for the correct voltage? 110v,or 220v If everything you tried failed,I would be thinking you need a new PSU. Earlier you were asked by soybean"The name brand and model number of the computer.You did not respond. |
