Hey,
New to these boards, hoping someone can help me out.
This morning my friend was yanking on the xbox in my room, and aparently it pulled on my surge protector, and unplugged my computer. So I plugged it back in, and turn it back on.
My computer sounded like it booted up, (fans spinning, etc) but the first thing I noticed, was that no picture was going to my monitor. I checked all cables and everything is plugged in. So this would lead me to believe perhaps my graphics card got fried somehow.. but then when I went to shut off the computer, I pressed and held the power button, and it wont shut off. Even after I hold it for 30+ seconds.
So to recap:
-Computer powers up, fans spin, lights go on, dvd drive opens.
-No picture to monitor
-No lights on my mouse or keyboard when powered on
-When I press and hold the power button, the compter will not shut off
The computer is fairly new (about 6-7 months), all hardward purchased through newegg..
I dont really have other hardware to swap out and test, so I dont know what I should do.... I dont understand how this could happen from my computer getting unplugged.
This is driving me crazy
Please someone help me.
