Hi, hope someone can help, or point me in the right direction.
I have a Compaq Presario S5000NX (about 3 years old) with Win XP and 384 MB RAM.
Recently it started shutting itself down spontaneously. Screen goes black (There is _NOT_ a "no signal" message), the chip fan stops spinning, but the HDD _IS_ still spinning.
Thought it might be overheating, so opened it up, and cleaned it out with compressed air. Now computer won't boot past the BIOS page. After BIOS page, screen goes black, chip fan stops spinning, but HDD is still spinning. Heat sink is not hot.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
