Yeah like I said before everything is spinning.

LOL...well I guess over emphasized dumbing up the hardware stuff...I know what the heat sink is.

The computer is only 1 year old.

If your computer powers up but there is no display (and no beeps which indicate improper mounting or critical system failures) then one of three things has happened (most likely anyway)

1. video card fuxx0rzed
2. cpu fuxx0rzed
3. you've unplugged your system speaker and it is beeping you just cant hear it =)

in any event try re-seating all the shit in the machine and picking up an el cheapo video adapter to see if thats the problem =) (its like 15 us for like a sis agp 4 mb... just to see if it's a vid card prob).

oh also you could have been running your memory at too aggressive of settings (i.e. you bought memory too slow for your cpu bus speed) and it went tits up, surprisingly common, cpu's will usually fail to post if the memory module(s) dies completely. Sometimes memory can be dodgy and just go out too, if you buy the cheap crap

SuperFatStucker^^^^^^^^
There are beeps when loading so I knew there was something else wrong. I guess I should also mention that I restored the video signal to my monitor and checked everything to be seatting properly. The memory in the computer is all matched properly and I have tested for this. Also the memory was not purchased from Future Shop and I know its not crap.

Alright...so I have done some research and checked some good resources and think the problem is a virus hit, a bad block on my harddrive or a corrupt file.

I know how to fix the corrupt file part but the other 2 I know nothing about.

try this, unplug the power from the back, then pop out the watch battery looking thing, itll reset your BIOS and should make it work.

Of course I do and I am behind a router....but that doesnt always matter. Virus software only protects from open files, downloading files and emails. You virus check and the xp updates are always behind aswell...which explains why they update all the time.

Also, my virus scan checks for the latest updates as soon as I start up my computer.

They dont email out updates. There was a new virus like a month ago that sent itself out, with the sender put as [email protected] or something saying it was an update and loads of people fell for it

guys...if it isnt handing over control to the OS, any software wont be affecting it. Only Firmware and Hardware and hardcoded flashable ROM instructions. Nothing else.
