    HELP ! #1
    « on: December 24, 2011, 11:38:28 PM »
    merry christmas everyone,

    i have a problem w/ my windows 7.

    1)  the person who built this pc has a license to buy a program and put it on many computers.  mine is one of them.

    OK

    80% of the time when i turn on the power button it lights up green, but the amber light for the hard drive does not come on.
    the bio's pop up w/ a message - "detecting ide channels" and there it sits, doing nothing.

    i push the power button off and wait awhile.
    the same bio's screen comes on.
    i wait.  nothing.

    turn back on, while hitting f8 key.
    nothing.  same bio's screen.
    this




    i turn off the power

    i turn off
    ask questions to get answers.

    Are you getting any beeps?
