I have a *very* big problem with my PC… I was typing a text in notepad for the portal, when suddenly the monitor went off. I thought I had hit the powerswitch under my desk, but then I noticed the monitor LED was flashing (meaning on, but no signal), also the PC was also still on. I switched the PC off manually, and tried to put it back on. The PC started, ther HDD started to spin (maybe - i dont exactly know, the HDD LED is on for longer than normal), but the light on my opticalmouse does not go on and the monitor still does not get a signal. I then tried all conections on a) the PC b) the monitor. Still nothing. I really do not know what to do! Does anybody know anything about this problem?
hm this can be very different things! check the connections inside your computer. maybe the prozessor has not the right contact(this makes a black screen and nothing happens)! what is about the BIOS of your PC? can you get into it or is the screen still blank? you can try another monitor, too. hm and then i don´t know more what to do ;(
I cant get into the BIOS as I can not see anything on the screen… I will have a look inside tomorrow. Its always such a hassle with the tower (massive and robust big tower = lots of parts and screws)!
Turned my PC on today *BOOM* Smoke?! Burning PC?! Autch… My PSU went up in flames… I hope it did not damage anything else; at least I know what it was now! :-/
