    can somebody help me figure out what is wrong with my computer?
    « on: January 13, 2010, 05:23:08 PM »
    I turned it on and it immediately turned to a black screen with white letters that say RS482- BIOS 300/14 CRT/TV BR#14086

    This has never happened before and it wont let me do anything. Please help.

    Please provide more information - including what happened between the last time the system booted properly and the first time it did not (new hw, sw, virus, error, etc).

      *censored*? "It" is obviously the computer. It was working perfectly fine before this happened. I left it on all night on the night before because I fell asleep and my mom was the one that informed me that it wasn't booting, although I am not sure if she turned it off when I fell asleep or if she found it like that (with the message in white letters). I haven't had any viruses before (that I am aware of).

      I'm sure you'll go far with that attitude...and people will be tripping over themselves to be first to help out.

      *censored*?  *censored* kinda darned computer?  Laptop, notebook, desktop, super, make and model..  How old, what processor, which OS version - as much information as you can give even if you do not think it's relevant..

      We're all staring at our screens waiting for you to give us some information in order to try to diagnose your problem and advise you for free ;D 

      So don't ask *censored*?, forum members don't deserve that kinda reaction.  Pyfo and provide the info asked for..

        Hie,  that has something do do with your mother board, please unplug all the card on your system board and try again reassembling them.

        I'd go for it being the video card bios especially if the card is an ATI Radeon.  I'll wait for the OP to respond to the information requests.

          Ya, I apologize for the rudeness in my post and for the lack of info. Its a HP Compaq Presario SR1650NX and I believe its from 2005. Its Windows XP, too. I don't know the exact stuff for everything else because my dad took it to his friend but I'm pretty sure its the same from when we bought it. Thank you so much for any help and again sorry.
