its an older computer, i built for my grandma, and she doesnt know much about computers. she called me and said that her computer wouldnt come on. i go up there and when she presses power the HP logo comes up then it goes on and the screen is black with a white dot flashing top left corner.
i noticed then her hard drive wasnt being detected so i replaced her hard drive and got xp installed and then i got her logged in. i restarted it and then it froze when loading at the xp screen (just kept going over and over and not going to login screen). i restarted again and it just gives me a black screen with a white dash or dot flashing top left corner of her monitor again and wont go past there. i checked her ram to make sure it was good, hard drive was a spare one so it was working. CMOS detects it right, i know i can format and read and write to it so its good. i know a power supply will screw around with you and make you think its something else and put another power supply in it same thing. wont boot up. what else would yall think it could possibly be? (checked jumpers made sure data cable was in good cd roms are set on seperate cable and it is set as single drive.) ------------------------------------ If you have any questions or problems with any aspect of this site, please feel free to contact me directly [email protected] Please do not post personal issues directly to the group.
