I was wondering if anyone can suggest (appropriate) ideas/solutions of how and why my PC has almost died
Briefly....Working on my PC, I go away to answer the phone, come back and PC has turned itself off. So I turn it back on and it makes the sound it makes as if it's been on for hours (quite fast) but it's not booting up or even attempting it. No lights on keyboard. Nothing, just the noise and the PC LED lights. As if it's pretending to be working quite hard, when really it's sitting in a sun lounger sipping cocktails.
This would be fine, not fine, but understandable (as it's 8 years old) and I had suspected that something had finally exploded inside it. However, following advice from some website....I opened it up, blew imaginary dust away off things, took out the RAM, and processor, and just put them back in
...did this twice, second time it started working!!
as if nothing had happened, boots up fine, up comes my desktop and I start singing "I'm a genius" go on explorer, click off it, go into it again....and it freezes , completely. So i reset it, stops half way through boot up, and again, and again.....then finally it stops working all together and I'm back to square 1 with just the noise :|
So, it's not as serious as I suspected (as it started working) but what's going on? generally? oh and with my PC.
Any ideas? (apart from calling a repair man)
