Computer won't Load Windows XP
« on: February 21, 2005, 03:08:16 PM »
I'm so lost! I completely reboated my computer (pulled the jumper) because it wasn't working anymore, and now it won't read the CD to reload Windows XP. Then I went back to it, and now my monitor seems to not be working either. It will turn on, but no picture will show up. The contrast settings are normal, but I don't know what's wrong. Please help!!

      CMOS reset jumper?  You removed the jumper completely and didn't reinstall it?

         kitkat1314........Where you playing around in the Bios and possibly changed something ..........Have you tried using the default settings in the bios ?

        you never did say why all this occurred .... what led up to this situation .......Sometimes its relevant .

        i don't really know what happened to it. It was fine one day, then I turned it off and when i turned it back on it said invaild system disc, even though there wasn't anything in there. The bios is still the same... all the defaults are set.

        ok two questions caitlin, did you pull the jumper out when the PC was running or turned off..... secondly when you pulled the jumper out were you ESD protected.

        did you have a ESD strap on, or did you ground yourself by touching the power supply, if not then static discharge might have messed up some of your components on the Mobo....
