Right. I'm stuck here at my mums trying to fix her PC which I bought off a friend a couple of months ago. Reliable chap, formatted and cleaned it up for us. Was working fine for the first couple of weeks but doesn't want to boot now. It turns on, but essentially I don't get any signal through to the monitor. A friend of my mums brought round a spare monitor to check it gets no picture, and it didn't. So we can rule out a dead monitor!
It turns on, no beeps, correct front lights flashin, all fans and gfx card working fine. There's a master Sata drive and a slave Ide. I couldn't feel if they were both spinning up inside the case so I took them out. Plugging them in one at a time and they both spin up ok. Interestingly, there's a cdrom and a dvd rom drive and neither of those seem to work- in that I can't eject either of them?
I did have problems with the Ram when I first hooked the pc up here, it wouldn't stop beeping I think because they were inserted in the wrong order (4 sticks). I'm not getting any indication that there is a ram problem now though..
I'm kinda struggling here, it's been a whole since I've messed around with any PCs!
Apologies for phone typing..
