Today, when I came home from school, I turned on my computer, only to find that it wouldn't start up. The computer turns on, technically. There are fans running and everything, but nothing shows up on the screen!
here is what I tried:
First, I thought it was the video card, so I made sure that was connected tightly. But then i realized that the mouse lights weren't turning on, whihc means I wasn't getting into the OS.
Second, I reseated my RAM. No luck.
Third, I purposefully unseated my RAM and then turned the computer on to see if it had any beeps. It beeped, so I put my RAM back in. Except this time everything booted up fine. I was like, "sweet!" I let it boot up, it went into GRUB and I selected XP, and then it wouldn't load XP! it said some file was missing! I pressed enter and the computer restarted, but this time it didn't boot up again.
So, finally. I turned on my computer and let it set for a while. Then, I pressed enter. If the OS was really running and the screen wasn't just showing it, the computer would have restarted, but it didn't.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG!
