Title: Starting up issues
Post by: bwwware on November 18, 2012, 08:59:17 AM

woke up this morning, went downstairs to the desktop and noticed the mouse was not moving. No biggie. I force reset the computer by holding down the power button. I can hear the computer boot back up but I get nothing on the screen. Not even the BIOS shows up. Nothing. Thinking it could be the updated video card, I take it out and try booting up from the motherboard video card. Nothing. Now I am usually the person people come to for computer help, but I am stumped on this one. I have had this computer not even 3 weeks now. I bought it off a friend, formatted the hard drive and put a fresh install of Windows 7 on it. I was so impressed with how fast it was. But now I am getting nothing out of it. Anybody have any help? Suggestions?

Thanks,

Bill
