my new computer decided it doesn't like to boot anymore [image:
http://elitistjerks.com/images/smilies/frown.gif] (btw, this is a
homebuilt computer that's been running for about a month with only minor
vid card driver errors, otherwise no issues at all).
Used the windows vista hibernate button, then realized I forgot to
check something and tried to click out of it before the computer fully
hibernated. Instead of getting back into windows, it just hangs with the
vid card fan spinning at what sounds like about 75% and no monitor turn
on or other activity. I did a hard turn-off using the case power button
and it turns off, but turning it back on gets the same result.
Left it unplugged overnight, didn't seem to help.
When I turn on the computer now, the case fans turn on, the vid card
fan goes to 100% then drops to 75%, stays for 5 seconds, turns off then
goes back to 100-75% the same way and hangs like that. Monitors do not
turn on, keyboard gets power but doesn't fully boot (g15 screen/lights
dont turn on).
Had some driver issues with the vid card last week (ati Radeon 4870)
but reinstalled drivers and it seemed to be stable. I do not have a case
speaker so I'm unsure of any beeps, I'll try to scavenge one today to
hook up.
