I am running into a problem with a system I just built last year. Today my computer (runs W2k) locked up while typing an email on AOL. I rebooted and the computer would always get stuck at the screen showing (Norton's) GO BACK. Even hitting the space bar to solve problems doesn't work. So, frustrated I'd Power it down and then restart and then hit the start button rapid like three times after about 4 unsuccessful bootups.
Now a power light of red is on, but the green one that blinks at boot up is not working. All that I hear running is the processor's Fan. Did I short out my power button? I am having a similar problem to the thread by mikeyworm. I connected my HD to another system, so HD is okay.
I had to reorder the same MBD in case the MBD is toast (I hope the processor is still okay). This is frustrating.
Thanks,
Steven
