| 172929 | 2003-09-04 04:13:00 | Running Win98, my PC on occasions just won't boot up, no error message on screen, nothing on screen actually - no hard drive noise nothing. Have swapped with a function HDD loaded with win2k - the same. I've put up with it until now, a reboot (or 5) no longer does the trick. Wont boot with floppy or CD either. Any ideas anyone? |

| 172930 | 2003-09-04 04:40:00 | Hi Des No POST beeps, can you get into the BIOS or is it totally blank, not a flicker? I guess youd be unlucky to have two dodgey HDD's and that should return a drive fail error anyway. What are you running on the system and whats your PSU. Check all your cable connections including the PSU ones. Are you running your comp through a multi box power outlet or UPS and what about power to your periferals, printer, etc, getting any (how much load). How old is the comp? Cheers Murray P |

| 172933 | 2003-09-04 06:06:00 | Have a similar prob on a PC I've got. I just turn off the wall socket, remove the power lead from the psu, wait 30 secs, turn power on plug lead back in to psu. Seems that wakes the ol pos up-has atx mobo etc, ect........... |

| 172934 | 2003-09-04 06:22:00 | when you push the power button can you hear the psu fan humming, from experiance some computers won't even turn on if something like the hard drive is setup wrong this could also be caused by loose/fauly connections to the motherboard | Jacob4165 (199) | ||
