Hey guys,
I moved to DC for an internship, and it looks like my pc died. On saturday I went to a friend's house and spent the night. I came back, and my computer looked like it was frozen, the power was on, but there was nothing on the monitor. I rebooted and nothing happened. I did this like 10 times and eventually it booted up as normal. I used the computer for like 10-15 minutes, and went away for half an hour. When I came back, the comptuer was again frozen, with no display on the monitor. I turned it off and back on 100,000,000,000,000 times since, and it still doesn't work.
I did the following things:
- removed all PCI cards
- removed power to all IDE devices
- removed keyboard & mouse
- removed ram, and replaced one by one (I have three sticks)
All I get is a brief flash of light on the keyboard, and no display on the monitor. I really have no clue what the problem could be. I've never had trouble with this machine before. The only thing that I can think happened is that someone there was a power surge, and that fried my mobo. Since I'm not in my basement I don't have access to spare anythings. Any advice on what it could be? I'm stumped.
I going to spend today probably removing and reseating my mobo, but I have a feeling it's a bigger problem then that =(.
