Hi there,
first post so I don't really know if this is the right forum, my apologies if it isn't.
Anyway, I'm having a few problems with a pc that I have put together recently. It's not new, its made from parts I had lying about. I have made computers before and I'm positive everything is plugged in correctly etc the problem is the pc turns on but it doesn't boot up properly.
It turns on, the fan starts the hd beeps and the LED light come on but this is when the problems start. It either boots into the screen which gives you a choice of 'safe mode', 'normal' (the HD has ME on it at the moment) etc and when I select a choice it just sticks there and doesn't move. Or it gets to the 'Pacard Bell' spash screen with 'press F2 to get into cmos etc' but the keyboard doesn't respond, it just sticks there.
I've got as far as the ME spash screen, then it stuck. No idea what could be wrong with it, I appreciate your responses.
Regards, Ian.
