Just recently i faced any casual pc users nightmare. Though for me my work is all pc based and i thought my harddrive had crashed. i was using my computer the way i usually do and out of nowhere decided to turn off. I decided not to fiddle with it, instead i decided to let it go for a bit. Until recently i checked it out. to find my hp compaq dc 7600 didnt want to boot and flased red whilst power was on. I decided to disconnet the cd drive incase of any shortage or surges of power was an issue (i decided the cd drive because it fails me alot of the time.) I also made sure the rom, hdd And power was all in place and in theory too me it all look right... however my power supply is situated on top of my sata drive so i have moved (not disassembled) the power supply just a little bit further from my hdd and what do you know? The powers on. The fans for both cpu and the power supply work.. and i can cheerfully hear my harddrive running. But right now my problem is that my working monitor does not show an input signal. And ive tried to use a different monitor and an lcd tv and still nothing. My main priority was to back up any important files before my hdd is next but simply cant without seeing anything please help...
