Yrag.....IPlural...... Anyone!!! I need computer help

February 15, 2004 2:08 PM from

HI Guys...... here's the story..... I just got my spare computer back from a friends house....I loaned it to him for a while.... It's apparently been working o.k., but when I got it home this is what happened: connected everything up ....no problems.... but when I turn it on, there is a little bit of disk activity, but then nothing....the monitor doesn't even come out of standby and NOTHING appears on the screen. Anybody have any idea why it isn't even attempting to boot? its a PII 233Mhz with 320mb ram matrox video card and a 3.2GB hard drive.

If any one has any ideas I would be grateful......Thank you.

Baaah humbug...foiled again...I'd have been OK if it wasn't for you pesky kids

Well done BoXXi for being the one who also got it right by taking the chance getting a "new" CPU in the face of so many other suggestions.

Actually, Jafo is right...... I didn't realise you had to plug the monitor in too, I thought it was solar powered!
