Chykason:

Our able hands,
I have HP COMPAQ with 120Gb HDD, 3Ghz processor & 512 Ram. Because the pc isn't sending any signals to the monitor, i tried replacing d Ram. But it have developed fresh fault: every time i ON d Pc, power indicator will blink and off immediately. Please, I don't know what's wrong with it. Thanks in anticipation!

Dear Chykason,

Thanks for the above enquiry and here is your diagnostics.
This behaviour can either be hardware or software problem.

When led blinks is power going to the pc ?

Can you hear beep when powered on ?

Disconnect power lead, monitor, keyboard, mouse and other
removable device such as printer, usb, cables, SD card etc.

This process is called ATX Reset to discharge static electricity
from the motherboard which house all of your component. is
pretty much like a car engine. Don't be alarm ! we are not trying
to turn it on even though no connections such as power lead.

Hold your PC Power button down for 30 seconds then test.
when connecting your  monitor cable could you make sure there
is no other similar connection at the back of your pc.
if still no joy i will advice you swap test with a different monitor#
and see what happens. Good luck !

are you sure you have the appropriate software to open the files you want to open? if the computer is new as you stated in your post, then you would need to install software to open certain types of files. . .

Any power cut recently (electricity)?
Are you using UPS backup ?

Did you follow my atx reset instructions
where you disconnect everything and hold
you power button down ? when turn on keep pressing/
repeatedly f10 to get to bios. is like a blue screen

can you get to Bios if not then see a technician.

Good luck !

make sure your system isnt on mute, mine works with earphones when on mute. else a cable is snapped i.e if systemrestore dont bring em back.

Dear Dwind,

Thanks for the above enquiry and would appreciate if you can state whether this xp or vista.
I take is vista due to it's popularity. when you get the message click on continue anyway and
you will be fine. if no joy then turn off the computer and keep pressing f8 repeatedly and you"ll come
to advance options. choose disable driver enforcement signature and test
when on the HP website make sure you select your country before downloading and installing.

Good luck !
