Computer Doesn't Boot
If anyone is able to help - or have any idea, I would be very appreciative. (In advance)
I have a Albtron Motherboard running an Athlon XP 2Ghz processor. But I was able to run my computer successfully this morning, shut down, ran off to work... But tonight when I came home My computer failed to boot up. It has power, with all the appropriate lights, fans, CD-RW, DVD-RW, HDD and floppy drive all running, but only the test pattern on the monitor, and no beeps associated with a normal start up..
I am normally quite switched on with computers, as in I built this one myself 3 years ago, I have tried resetting the CMOS, checked all the cards, cables and jumpers are secure and in place. There are no marks on the M/B to indicate it has cooked itself either. Power supply is delivering the correct voltages to everything...
Is there anything else left to try - or is it time to fork out some more cash get a new motherboard and CPU?
Thanks
