After using my computer for many weeks I recently turned it off for two
days, whilst I was away (I don't normally turn my computer off). When it
came time to turn the computer on, it would not reboot. Power came on and
that was that - no post or anything! Despite numerous attempts the computer
would not boot let alone run my Windows XP SP2. I cleared the CMOS and
started over again with all peripherals disconnected except the hard drive.
Finally the system restarted and I reattached all the peripherals and all is
now well again. My question is, why did this failure to boot happen? I have
not changed any hardware or software or added to or taken off during the
past few months. The computer was running well until I turned it off and
tried to turn it back on again two days later.
Thanks
