Hey Leo, quick question

I have a problem similar to this one, and I'm sensing it's probably my power supply, but when I boot my computer, my scroll light and ONLY my scroll light flashes on and off. Also, on either power setting in the back, the 'power' light turns on, everything's awesome... then it turns off, and nothing happens. I just wanted to know if the scroll light meant anything, and if putting in a new power supply is most likely going to work?

my computer doesn't respond ! T_T
when I turn on my computer . after the ACER LOGO with " DEL: BOOT blabla F12: blabla " . it says there: disk read error occured press ctrl + alt + del to restart . what shall I do ?

my PC is very new . I bought it last week only .

my PC is Acer Aspire with Core2Quad processor

pls help me

Sounds like a hard disk problem. Take it back to where you bought it, it should still be under warranty.

When I start my coputer, the monitor is started with lights and the fan, but there's nothing on the screen. I tried restarting it, and it took me about 10+ times to get it to start the computer. Is it partially broken??

When I start my computer I see a black screen with faint images in the background , it's like the light is dimmed behind the screen. Does this mean that my monitor is shot and I need to get a new one or is it a way to fix it myself? Can I Transfer the data fron that computer to another one? HOW?

when i turn on my computer, the fan does start, the mouse light turns on, the 3 keyboard lights turn on and off, and dont turn on again, the screen doesnt show anything and there are no beeps, i have made no updates or changed anything, and the computer has worked before.

The problem started today when my brother connected a cut off mouse usb in the computer and a little motor from a toy car to the cables.
so the screen turned off and i shut it down.
when i turned it on it had a long beep. so i cleaned inside and still doesnt work.

I have a question. When I shut down my computer and get on the computer the next day. The computer does not have anything I saved. It does not remember any of the work I put on my computer. What do I do?

My computer screen remains blank even after switching it on. Monitor LED comes on for a brief period and goes off. All the time I can hear the Fan running. And yes the system is properly plugged to power supply. Some time back the system would start and enter BIOS. I realized the reason would have been a weak CMOS battery. But now the screen just remains off.

Hey, i bought this computer at a flee market for like 30 dollars. it is a TigerTV Athlon XP2200. Anyways there are some things it did not come with: RAM, Hardrive, Video Card and thats about it. i looked up the computer online to make sure that i put the correct parts in. I finally started the computer and it runs... but nothing coems up on the monitor screen. i know the video card is correct, it is a APG video card in an APG slot and i know the RAM is correct because i went on the web site and found the acual computer that i have. There is a possiblity the Hardrive may not work on that spicific computer... Are there any important parts that could be missing that could cause it not to work?
