son was doing new install win xp pro. he had decided to have ac clean
fresh start and then reload what ever programs he req,d after new install
as he as backups on dics of what he uses. he as done this numerous times
b4 with no problems. however he left computer to get on with it and when
he returned there was only 8 mins to go displayed on screen. after afew
mins he noticed process bar was not operating. apparently he thought
computer had frozen and he said no response to keys or open cd. thus he removed power. onreconnection power led on disc scanning for a while fan
on. disc ejected no problem. switched off the back pn again inserted disc scanned for around 30 secs then just sits there doing nothing. since then
I tried for him and it the same on mains alone or battery alone or both however still charges battery. no F12 F2 F8 F6 no ALT F11 no responses at
all only green power light on with both mains or battery supplying power
or both installed however still charges battery. initial turn on no
flashing cap lights etc just power led on. diconnected everything in turn ram, hdd, cd, etc right down to motherboard checked for "dry joints"
nothing .reseated cpu checked everything i have seen on net to try.
afriend with same machine took my psu home worked on his daughters 1150 no problem. no its not the psu jack on mine. only thing I think of is 40gb
hdd was somehow corrupted in my sons absence.I know it is an old machine
but having spent so much time being frustrated with this I wondered if
anyone had any other ideas and is there any way to confirm hdd. No have
asked friend to borrow his daughters 1150 for comparison but he is afraid
my machine may damage his parts or vice versa and he may have to fork out
for another machine for his daughter which is the situation I face and
money is tight after we were made redundant last year. any HELP!!! appreciated b4 an early grave ensues for me not the 1150.
