I am using my son's computer - long STORY and I NEED mine working too - anyway 3 people at least using it and size is 160 - between videos and games etc it is now full (hard drive) and I am having problems even getting it to start up - help! i have just got a WD external hard drive so I can take all mine off of his; but would have to load and put all my docs and info on it which would take a lot off the original but have to get it to come up first - system is xp - the computer is not very new at all....do not know much about it
i do know it has about 1028 for memory-I replaced power suppky last yr-It will power up and I usually hear the hard drive a bit, now it is not coming up anything on the monitor although it will begin power with lights coming on as startup on disk drives.  The monitor seems to be in a sleep mode (had problems with that a couple of times recently before I could not get it to run....so I do not knowwhat I am doing or what is going on.)
Help - he will really be mad at me as with my luck this has happened while I used it.
I just need to get it running so I can save my items, get rid of other stuff probabliy not needed and get it to him so I will not be blamed for anything else. Power supply died and it was my fault : ) God BlessDid you try to start it in Safe Mode?You poor thing!!
Have you pulled out the cords and reconnected them?
Or do you have a friend that is a computer wizz?
Maybe you can ring them? Quote from: Rowena on August 06, 2009, 01:16:25 AM
