| 1201558 | 2011-05-12 03:34:00 | This computer was purchased from Ascent mid 2008. Most of the parts are still under warranty including the HD,MB,PSU,Ram, and CPU. It was assembled by Ascent. Anyway I have just rung them and they have told me to send it back to them and they will disassemble it and send the parts away to get checked as they no longer do any technical stuff. A long process. | Trev (427) | ||
| 1201559 | 2011-05-12 03:37:00 | Got one here at the moment, doing the exact same thing - uplugged the HDD and bingo - BIOS. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1201560 | 2011-05-12 03:47:00 | I fixed a comp for a friend a couple of weeks ago, same as wainuitech. Nothing then unplugged the HDD and away it went. |

| 1201562 | 2011-05-12 04:12:00 | This started last night. I went out about 4pm and went to switch the computer off but by the start button was the windows update icon so I went to windows update and downloaded and installed the updates. When it had finished windows said I had to restart the computer for the updates to work. I just turned the computer off thinking it can finish the updates when I turn it on again when I get home which was about 9pm. I did that and all I got was the long beep. :( |

Doing what you did though shouldn't cause a Hardware failure,what it can do is screw your OS. If it were a BIOS upgrade then that can cause problems turning it off before its finished. |

| 1201564 | 2011-05-12 04:33:00 | Well, I would take the mobo out, place on bench, plug in ram only and see what happens when you connect up PSU and start! | SolMiester (139) | ||

Yes I know that. What I meant was turn the computer off via windows and do the restart later when I came home. I was just going to delay the restart by a few hours. I was running out of time to do the restart then. :) |

| 1201566 | 2011-05-12 05:01:00 | Most of the parts are still under warranty Which is good. they will disassemble it and send the parts away to get checked as they no longer do any technical stuff. Which is stink. Wonder why they did that? That's the most fun part. |
