Thread: pc not booting up

^ what's wrong with it?

Its facked. Take it elsewhere. What make is it ?

^ It's a PC clone (made by a computer shop back in Australia). I've taken it to 3 different shops already apart from 2 mates who first looked at it.

Try your monitor with a different PC or laptop, if its not the monitor, then get a new hard drive put in it.

Hmmm, funny how your friend said it was riddled with trojans and the guy at the shop said it was your anti virus program..... i would reformat it before anything else. Hope you have all your docs and photos backed up already

You could also run malware bytes before reformatting if you can get itbooted up That will find and destroy viruses after they have got in. Get rid of avg and get avast prior to running that too

Then I thought I'd turn it off, turn off the power, remove the plug from the monitor that plugs into the back of the computer and then reconnect and switch on. Guess wot, it works. So, my question is..... what's wrong with it.

Sounds like a loose connection.



At the least you know it should be limited to either the monitor, cable or graphics card/processor. If you have spares you could swap them out and try to narrow it down.

Sounds like a circuit board is cracked or over-heating and then your screen goes blank? Fans running and operating for short periods and then off,blank screens?

Off the subject: How do I change the opening screen on Td to fit the screen? duh?

^ do you mean the top 3 columns ?

You armchair wanks know fuck all about puters. Only a fcukin moron would listen to any of you lot. I could fix it for ya if I wasn't thousands of miles away.

I had all the same probs for months . It was the hard drive that was nackered so just had to get a new HD reinstall windows & not had a prob since. HDs can take awhile to completly pack up but they make all sorts of probs when they are in the process of dieing . change your HD & you'll be ok

We are all delighted that you are "thousands of miles away" and rather hope it will stay that way.
