Resolved Nothing happens when powering up.

Hello there!

I'm back after that grueling (lol) reformat (**** sality)...

But now I'm facing another problem!

My PC won't start! When I press the power button, the key board locks (num lock, caps and scroll) will just blink once and boom nothing happens...

It's not power problems cause my fans are working...

Any help will do.

Thanks!

 

Watch any other LEDs. On your "tower" there should be an LED for disk drives, what does it do? (Flash or stay on?)

Gruelling reformat? Did you finish installing Windows? Let us know at what point it stopped rebooting or did not start-up (more information required).

 

Yes, I finished installing it. I can't find any lights on my tower! Only a little light at near my floppy drive.

And oh, I removed my old RAM and changed it with two new modules.

 

After you found it would not start up or before you reinstalled Windows? You need to give us some "timelines" on when things happened, otherwise we are only guessing.

All I know is that you had problems after reinstalling Windows. Windows seemed to work (you could get to a working desktop, right?) The computer does not start up now, but you changed the RAM at some stage.

If you see the keyboard (and mouse) LED flash, that means the computer's BIOS is checking for hardware that is connected. It probably has a problem accessing some of that hardware. Disconnect any "added" devices, that also includes taking out any PCI add-in cards. You can also disconnect drives, drives are not needed until it comes time to load an operating system. You need to get to something, anything, not just a blank screen.

I found the problem!

I found out that the RAM was not properly seated...

Thanks for the replies, Sir mattman.

PC is working again.

 

Well done, thanks for letting us know and marking the thread resolved.
