[Closed] Geeks, your help required, step this way if you will.....

No beep codes or anything?Swap all the bits out one at a time until you find whats broken.
Start with the graphics card could well be that...

Beep codes?????

I thank you for your assistance, really, I do, but could we try to keep the advice in a language that i might understand. Please? :0)

Beep Codes:

Does the funny white boxy-woxy thingy make strange beepy-weepy soundy noises at you when you push the big ON button on the case?

Tongue in cheek! Honestly!

Sometimes if there's a fault which the computer can detect at power-on then it emits a sequence of beeps to describe the fault e.g. two short beeps == memory screwed etc.

Mend it with a new one.

Now that I am fluent in the language known to a few as "Beep Codes" I shall press the power button and count away. I just hope the kids don't use the microwave at the same time!

Ps, thank you, I do appreciate it.

If I was a nerd, I'd find you faintly patronising.

Does the screen/display screen/monitor take digital as well as analogue signal?

If for some reason or another like power cut/ pulling plug out/ etc xyz
It may be possible that the screen/display screen/monitor is expecting one type, but getting the other in which case it will display nothing.

Does the screen/display screen/monitor have some buttons?

Following a full re-boot I'd dick about with those for a bit before I'd start taking my machine to bits.

No you wouldn't because nerds are socially inept mental cripples. If you were a *geek* you would find him faintly patronising and would be able to select a finely tuned insult laden with intelligence and dry wit from the great many that your large brain has to hand.
