I was working on my computer when I was called for dinner. On my return, the monitor was indicating it had gone into “low power” mode. I thought the machine had perhaps gone into hibernation, but it refused to “wake up”. I tried to reboot it, I could hear the fans working, and the drives began, but the screen flashed the above message and then went blank. The lights on the keyboard did not turn on at all, and the optical mouse did not “go red” as was expected. I unplugged it from the mains, plugged it in and tried again, still nothing. Tested the monitor, it works fine. Took the power supply unit out and tried it with another, still does not boot or turn on the monitor. The motherboard is an ASRock K7S41GX with anAMD Sempron 3000. The machine is only used for general office requirements so ??40 for a new motherboard (if that is the problem) would seem reasonable. Another small issue, when I purchased the computer I paid for a full MS office(icluding outlook, access and publisher) to be installed. MS tell me that this software was for this machine only and if I buy a new machine I have to buy office again. I cannot even access my old outlook correspondence which I need.
Any help really would be appreciated
