I'm having some problems with my PC, and I'm kind of boggled since they just arose out of nowhere. I've been using it all day with no problems. About an hour ago, I went to use it and I go to move my mouse and notice nothing happens. I try the keyboard to see if that works, and nothing. Computer is completely locked up. So, I do a manual shut down, and then I turn it back on. Well, it turns on, but nothing happens. No beeps, and the monitors don't kick on. It just sits there with the fans going.

I have no idea what I should do. I tried resetting the CMOS, and that didn't help any.

What would cause the sudden problems like this?

Thanks in advance for any help. :)
 
This happened to me the other day...I moved and during the drive something got disconnected. I opened up the side panel and sure enough, loose wires. Plugged everything back in and it was good to go. Maybe something wiggled loose somehow.
 
I checked, but everything is good. It makes no sense. It's just been sitting where it always is. The last thing that it was doing was Adobe Updates. I had them going, locked the computer, went to do some stuff, came back and tried to enter my password and nothing worked. :(

Thanks for the help anyways, though.
 
Little update. I tested the computer using a spare PSU I had, and the computer still did the same thing, so it can't be the PSU. Does that mean it's most likely the motherboard? I feel like if it was anything else it would at least post, but give me some error beeps.
 
Anyone have any ideas? I went through and made sure everything was plugged in good, reseated the RAM and such, and still no go.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. :)
 
somethings broken. replace parts until it works. Not much else you can do if you've already tried the obvious like wires, reseating ram, etc.
 
The only problem is I don't have spare parts to test, so if I have to drop cash, I'd like to at least narrow it down. Right now I'm thinking it's the mobo, but I'm looking for suggestions as well to help me decide. If it were something else, wouldn't it at least post, but give me some error beeps and not boot? Currently, I can't even post. Everything turns on, fans spin at full, but they don't die down after a second like usual, and there are no beeps from the internal speaker. There's also no signal being sent to the monitors, mouse, keyboard, etc.

Thanks again in advance for any help.
 
Call a local PC shop and ask if you bring in the mobo and cpu if they can test them for you. Also from your last post it could be the video card
