    Computer won't start up
    « on: April 23, 2008, 12:06:59 PM »
    On occaision my PC would freeze up and I would have to hard shut off.
    Some times after freezing my computer wouldn't start back up.

    When i turn it on the monitor goes on and I hear the fan running but nothing else happens.
    Previously i have run anti-virus software and Highjack this with no issues.

    Any Idea what it could be?

    Windows version, computer specs: processor speed, amount of RAM, hard drive size/free space.

      Windows XP Home

      AThlon 64
      2.0 Ghz
      2000 MHZ fsp
      512 KB  L2 Cache

      160 GB ATA harddrive

      Memory

      I had a friend who works for a PC company check the log when I first started having problems.
      Now I can't get the logs.

      I have discountected various hardware one at a time and that doesn't seem to be the problem.

      Will it shut down from Safe Mode?

        I can't get it to start up to be able to shut down in safe mode.
