by the way Street1 I was just kidding.

Emoticons really help to clarify this:

A play on words?The below site is really good in my weird
opinion.

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?)

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

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....

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.
