Hi all
I've been having this problem now for a few days. I press the power switch on my pc, everything goes on, like the cpu fan, dvd drive, graphics card fan, front panel lights and even the num lock, scroll lock and caps lock lights flash once. Everything happens as would normally happen, except that the screen doesn't go on. Normally there's those numbers that come up showing memory and drive tests before Windows starts. That doesn't happen. The "loading" light on the front panel comes on and stays on for a while and then goes off again, but nothing happens. I wait for the single beep to say that the pc is starting, but nothing. The pc is on, but just doesn't start Windows.
The first time it happened, I turned on the pc by pressing the power switch and nothing happened(at least as desribed above). Then I pressed and held the power switch to turn it off. Pressed power again and it came on. But now it doesn't come on at all.
Is there anyone who might know what could possibly be the problem. Am I supposed to upgrade the mobo or a new power supply? Someone posted a similar problem and a possible solution might be that his/her "card is not seated correctly". I doubt that this is what's happening to me. Please help...
Thanks
