| 296782 | 2004-11-27 05:08:00 | its shuts down after a second of turning on PSU. i hav to turn it off at the back, because ON/OFF button will only turn it on, not off. It only allows it to be turned off when the OS has started loading. I figured that was normal as it does it with the computer i am using right now. But that is off topic slightly, im more interesting in my computer starting up fully, than worrying about the off button not working in the post screen :) Do you have any more ideas on how to get it to work, or do you think im goin 2 hav 2 take it to a computer place? |

| 296784 | 2004-11-27 06:48:00 | i had 2 stix of 128 ram, i removed 1. definetly in properly. still makes no difference. the problem is the BIOS, i havent added or removed anything, after i updated my BIOS, and it screwed up after i had restarted it after the update. I had installed a sound driver and some randum windows update background intellgent blah blah, but these wouldnt have made it "freeze" on the post screen. So the problem is that i updated the BIOS, which it seems i shouldnt have, and now i need the BIOS to unupdate or do something to get it back to the original working BIOS, without using a bootable floppy, as ive already tried that and it doesnt load enough to register. I don't think im goin 2 be able to do that at my house, so ill think ill take it to a computer shop. Thanks for all your help. |
