Hi,
Woke up this yesterday to the other half complaining that the PC wouldn't start up. Apparently it had given him a blue screen with writing on it, so he restarted but got nothing but a black screen.
Recently my power supply died, so having replaced it (with a slightly more powerfull one) its been working for over a month. The PSU fan is spinning, the CPU fan is spinning, the LED on the motherboard is lit and the lights on my keyboard light up for a short second. Apart from that nothing. Monitor is telling me its getting no signal, no hard drive activity light. I don't get the POST beep that my system usually gives off on booting up.
I havn't got any spare parts around so can't really test anything, and didn't wanna have to buy new parts unless it's absolutely necessary.
Yesterday I was leaning towards hard drive failure but after having a think it's gotta be some kind of hardware failure...
I have reseated everything which hasn't helped. I removed all the RAM and started system, motherboard beeped continuously (correct response for my motherboard with no ram).
Tried booting system with everything connected exact the hard drive, still no POST or bios access.
I have unplugged my CMOS battery and will reconnect it tonight when I go home to see if that has helped.
Any thoughts?
