| Computer won't start-up, BIOS won't post, screen is black. Any ideas? |

Accidentally left my tower on over the break. Came back to see the screen working, but mouse and keyboard were unresponsive. I turned it off, and now whenever I start up my computer, it powers on briefly and then powers off. Then, it tries again, and the disk appears to start spinning but there's no beep, BIOS doesn't post, and nothing shows up on my monitor. Any advice where to start debugging? I suspect this is a PSU issue, but I don't have a PSU to test with. Has anyone encountered something similar to this? |

It might be that something overheated or maybe the hard drive just wont work even if it is spinning. You could try contacting someone about it |

do you get any intro while it's powered on like your motherboard logo or whatever shows up and then it goes to a black screen and powers off? |

hm try resetting your cmos jumper, it's this little blue plug you see on your motherboard if that works then you might need to change the clock afterwards |
