:-?All right, I really need some help. my computer turns on, but the mouse, keyboard and monitor don't work. the moniter turns on but isn't getting any feedback from the computer. when i turn the computer on the mouse( an optical.) flashes and the keyboard lights (num, caps, and scroll lock lights.) flash, but after that nothing. i have checked all the connections and everything is connected properly. I have reset the computer multiple times but always the same thing. I really hope somebody has a solution or at least some suggestions that could work. Please help me!!

Sorry for lack of info, I was kinda freakin' out, but as far as os goes it is a windows xp sp2, and before this happened i had pushed the sleep button on the keyboard and it went to standby, and then it wouldn't wake up, so i restarted it and the tower was working fine i guess (the light went on and the disk tray is fully operational) but the moniter, as i said before, was just sitting there as if the computer didnt even go on. same with mouse and keyboard. I restarted it multiple times via the power button and always the same!! once though it actually went to the black screen displaying system info (where it says press F1 to comtinue, or press Del. to enter setup. ) but for some reason the keyboard wasn't working at all. so i had no other option but to restart and try again, and again, and again..... I have no idea what is going on and I am sorry for going "MIA" but i am busy durring the day and this is the first chance i got to return here. if there is anything else you need to know just tell me

Do you want me to start with your grammar? :-?

I never intend to ridicule anyone.I am always just joking.

Can you try a PS/2 mouse and keyboard?

Do you have onboard video?

Power down the machine. Disconnect any unneccessary USB devices. Borrow a PS2 keyboard and mouse if possible and plug them in. Power up...does the machine now start properly ? ?

If so add one device at a time with a re-boot in between each to help track down the culprit.

Are the keyboard and mouse wireless by chance ? ?

Hello,wayne425.I am sorry I got to you.I was only joking.

I have an offbeat sense of humor that sometimes comes
back and bites me.

I hope you are able to solve your problem. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Did you try the above with all USB devices removed as suggested ? ?

Have you checked Device Manager for any broken devices ? ?

Can you do a system restore to before the problem ? ?

patio. 8-)

wayne425 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 09, 2007, 09:15:42 AM »

Have you recently added or changed the RAM in this machine? The wrong type of memory card or one that is not properly seated can cause these symptoms. If you have a video card (not onboard), reseat that also.

I Tried just what you said and still no dice...

This is really getting out of hand. I was thinking of getting a new computer soon anyway, this just gives me another excuse.

I will probably just salvage the hard drive. It's all good. 8-) OH and street1 that sit is indeed pretty cool

(was that enough emoticons Rob?)

Wayne425.

Do you know how to reset your BIOS to defaults by removing the CMOS
battery,or using the motherboard jumpers?

What a dumba$$ed cat!

I have the same exact problem going on, the only difference is, I moved the computer down the hill to the store and it started acting this way. I brought it home and connected my other monitor to it, and nothing. connected the keyboard to my other computer and again nothing. The hard drive beeps 4 times and everything lights up for just a minute when turning it on.....That is all, so sure hope someone can help with this. Very Odd that two doing the same thing, and not anyone heard of it before. Also, can it be totally taken back with Restore Disk, when nothing is responding? If so please tell me the steps to do this. I am no computer whiz, but do know a little basic, and this is just making me crazy.

Well, it's better to start your own thread and identify your particular hardware and issues rather than hijacking someone else's, but since it has wandered off topic....

http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

Those beep codes indicate a hardware fault. WIndows is not the solution to this, even a fresh install. The problem must be sorted out first. So read this and then start a new thread listing all of the things below.
