Solve : My computer won't start up?

Answer»

I turn the power on, SCREEN shows the initial Intel screen, then the screen remains black.

Thats really all there is to it, any ideas to get it running?Check your monitor connections...if no joy joy post back with a bunch more info on this machine and what OS...Checked that this morning and everything is good. The first intel screen shows so I know its not the monitor.

I am running WINDOWS XP professional, the computer is a Antec. Any other info needed?How old is the computer?  What kind of motherboard do you have?  How much memory?  One hard drive or two?  Have you installed any new programs recently?  Does the computer stay on or does it continually restart? Might be overheating. Clean out the heatsinks. DON'T use a vacuum.Tried Safe Mode? Quote from: french253 on September 16, 2008, 06:09:56 PM

Maybe a YEAR or two old. No new programs recently. It stays on with the black screen, does not continually restart. I dont know the info on the other questions, is there anywhere on the computer I can find the info for you? Maybe on the inside? Tried Safe Mode?something you could try is using a BOOT disk such as linux if it works you know its prob your hard drive or your OS but yeah..If your pc is stuck after tge intel screen before the windows logo that means that this might be a hardware issue.

Dissconnect all usb and other devices attached to the pc.
Go into bios (if possible) and restore defaults.
when you see the initial loading press space or esc and post here what was the last text on the screen.


Only if nothing changed, if you can open the case  and try to disconnect the harddisk and reboot....

keep us posted..... 
Hey GUYS, a computer company took it last Thursday to fix it. I'll let you know what the final outcome is. Thanks for all the help!
