So, i was just on my computer doing normal things (just browsing the net) when the PC freezes, so i press the reset button. But now the damn thing wont boot. I press the power button, and it powers up, but the bios bootup screen dont show at all, and the monitor or keyboard dont respond. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

Try safe mode.
Boy that'll help.

I little more detail about the PC and monitor specs would be helpful. :dry:

You could try resetting the CMOS.

Are you by chance seeking employment?
We could always use a qualified tech at the shop.

Especially one with magical feet.

A tech with feet qualified in percussive maintenance? You probably couldn't afford him. :)

You're probably right Chewie.

I'm sure the Geek Squad would outbid us for his services.

I take it the warranty has run out ? Better to take it to a friend or local shop you trust, let them help you . Could be the power supply or many other things , I'm lucky in the sence I have spare parts to swap out and test .

Not everyone does tho . :(

try kicking it if that doesnt work sue bikejumpr2020 and get a new pc :)


if it froze for no reason and freezes be4 bios loads up could that mean that theres a fault with a part of the hardware he has? as be4 bios loads it scans the hardware u have connected (think thats what it does anyway)
