Resolved Orange light always on....

i have windows 7 ulimate... i dont know the specs exactly for the computer i have had the pc for about 6 years... i have reloaded it once from windows vista(bad move)because i.. umm crashed the system... then there was windows 7.... it was going fine for a while then the system would turn off by itself... when turning it back on the system would show the blue system light would come on for 2 seconds and then turn off. this would go on for about 6 more time and then the system would do what i want... now i tried to turn on the system it has an orange light... it would do the same thing light would come on for 2 seconds and then turn off. now the orange light is permanent... during this time i am making sure all the wires are plugged in right... i think that the violet( that the name i gave her) doesn't like me anymore.

 

6 years is not a bad run. It is probably a decent lifespan from hardware of that era.

Since it is a startup problem. I will move this thread to Hardware.

We don't know any details about the computer. If it is a Dell computer, my heart sinks when I see a orange light on those. It usually means an unrepairable (expensive to repair) problem. If it is a Dell, their manuals could tell you what the orange light means.

oh my well it is a dell and the light is on the CPU ...

 

If you want further information, try searching the Dell forum for "orange "

I'll try the steps here ans see if that helps thanks... most of the time the memory would give me the beeps but now it just blank... but i'll try the steps....Thanks guys...

 

I would personally suspect a power supply fault if you are getting no beeps and an orange light, but that isn't a certainty.

 

thnks for that.. i actually figured that one out... looked up some specs and also the different errors and i found the problem it is a power supply problem. now i just have to find the near store that sells the stuff.... thank you.
