Hi all
In need of help 🙄
My other computer crashed today. I left it for 5 minutes, came back and it wouldn't respond, no monitor no nothing. The only course of action was to turn it off by holding the power button for 5 seconds, and that turned it off - brilliant, until:
I turned it back on, the hard drive light stays on, and the hard drive drives for a matter of seconds and then dies.
I've tried unplugging the hard drive, and starting it - no good
I've tried, unplugging the CD-rom and hard-drive - no good, and I cant think for the life of me what is going on.
The monitor just stays in shut down / standby mode.
I'm running windows XP pro, and I've never had anything like this before. No new software has been installed or downloaded. 😕
Any help would be much appreciated.
