I believe my computer was overheating (kept freezing for no reason, tried everything from various scans to driver updates to all hardware replacement except processor, opened it up, put a fan on it and seemed to remedy) so I took the little fan off the processor, cleaned off the excess dust there and from the heat sink, put them back on...now nothing! What did I do? It gets power, the fans spin on processor and case, the drives start spinning, I can see the little light on the motherboard, but it won't go out of the standby mode "yellow light" situation, the keyboard & monitor won't come on. Did I do it this time? Was trying to help myself hurt me irrepairably? I've got:
Gateway 1.3Ghz P4
1.2G RAM
Windows XP SP2
40G HD & 20G slave drive (storage)
