Hi, all! This is my landlord’s machine so I’m not familiar with it. We had a half-second blackout today, my computer started right up, his won’t!
I’ve unplugged in for a while, then on startup the fan and DVD drive turn on only for about a second, the computer beeps one long in one second intervals and nothing else happens.
Any keyboard activity has no effect as well as the 5 second hold-the-button-in reset. It will shut off with the button, but this is all it will do. It is protected with a good surge suppressor, and I found it doing this one night before but it started right back up for me then.
Oop… WinXP Home, 2nd Ed, no peripherals or extra hardware.
Any ideas?
