Hello everyone,
since it's my first post here, I hope that I'm not violating any community rules - a strange situation with my computer brought me here.
To my problem: yesterday when I rebooted my system to get from linux to windows, my system started suddenly having problems with sending signals to the monitor. First thought in my case: "that's it, my graphic card is done".
I opened my computer to check if anything strange can be seen by the eye. As always: everything seemed clear.
Since I had an hdd which gave up it's life (probably because of it's 10 years of life), I removed the connections to it, to be sure that it isn't causing some weird problems (was more like an action in desperation I guess).
The more important things now: everything works fine on my computer + the monitor (tried to connect it with my laptop) - I can hear the startup sound of the OS. I "googled" alot with my laptop and tried to find any related cases: This was mostly without success, but I've found that someone had strange problems with cold booting.
In desperation, I turned the system off for a couple of minutes. After I turned it on again, it worked.
I thought, that it was just some kind of small problems and that it wouldn't happen again. It worked today in the morning, like usual. But after I came back from the university and tried to turn it on again, same thing happened - the warm boot doesn't just work anymore
. It seems now that it's going to be hard to turn it on again. Has anyone any ideas about what could be wrong ? Experiences similar cases ?
Except for my old hdd, the other components are fairly new:
Graphic Card: Geforce 9800GT, CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.3 Ghz (I guess), 4gb RAM, some ASUS Motherboard. Sorry for the unspecific configurations. I don't have the specifics in my hear nor anywhere written.
I don't have much detailed knowledge about all the components in my computer. And I apologize too for any mistakes in my English - it's not my native language.
Thanks for any replies.
EDIT: just saw the mistake in the topic name: sorry. I don't seem able to change it through the edit. Some kind of permission blocks.
