| 545217 | 2007-04-29 10:46:00 | Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with a wee problem i have. My PC was running fine until one day it wouldn't start. When i press the power button it begins to fire up then fizzles out before anything happens. The fan to the PSU is still running and the button to open my CDROM still works. The reset button works But still nothing happens? Screen says what it usually says when the monitor is on without the system running "no input signal". Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as to where to look for tell tale signs of what might be the primary cause. Feel free to ask questions and i will answer as best i can :) Any help is appreciated. |
