Help!: Computer failure???
Rainy:The pictures have nothing to do with the content!!
My brother was in the middle of playin some sort of computer game when all of the sudden the compter cut off on him. Rather, windows cut off. No bluescreen, No “windows is shutting down” nothing it just cut itself off. At the time the monitor was still recieving power and the screen test displayed floated about to prove that and the computers blue light was on indicating it was still operational. However, no access to windows. When he held the power button down and turned the computer back on it didnt start again. No lights, no fan from the power supply, no humms or buzzy noises, nothing. I opened up the computer and the light for the motherboard is still on. Could this be a bad power supply?
The answer in the following:

Either the power supply, or a mother board problem. You can purchase a motherboard tester off newegg for about 20 bucks
Answer by Greg
its more likly to be a lack of ram. buy some more. It should at least have a gig. If that doesn’t fix it it could be a power supply
Answer by solidchevyman
Hmmmm,sounds like video card…..
Answer by Luke K (www.lukeishere.com)
It could be a bad power supply, you can try unplugging for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in.
It could also be one of those new shut-off viruses that are going around. They do exactly what you have described. If you manage to get it back on again I would do that.
It could also be the monitor, but if you are getting no response from the CPU itself then it most likely is not.
That is really weird though, I’ve never heard of something like that happening.
Hope I can answer your question! Feel free to contact me with your solution or any other problems/details at any time.

Really sounds like the power supply. Sometimes you can smell it if the power supply goes out. Happens all the time.
Answer by Ryan
Could be power supply but could be RAM as well. Since you probably don’t have a spare powersupply on hand, lets rule out the RAM.
Pop your system open. If you have multiple sticks of RAM, remove all but one stick, then boot back up. If your system is successful in booting you have found your problem. One or more of the sticks of RAM that you have removed is bad.
If you system doesn’t boot, remove the stick and pop in another stick and try again. Repeat process until you have found the bad stick.

If you’re connected, you’re protected
Floral Park, NY (PRWEB) July 31, 2006
“If you’re connected, you’re protected,” according to Maggie Tolkin and Amy Motschwiller, creators of StudentBackup.com. These innovative women have introduced an easy to install and easy to use software package that provides students a fast, reliable and convenient way for backing up their important computer files. According to a survey conducted at the Cornell University Johnson School of Business while students experienced significant computer failures, 70% of them never backed up their files. Having no luck finding a service that would back up student files, Maggie and Amy designed an innovative software package to fill the void. StudentBackup.com is now available as an inexpensive insurance policy for students who fear the loss of their critical work due to unimaginable computer disasters.
“With college students of our own, we discovered that there was no product on the market that was cost effective and easy to use. Our product protects information daily and provides students and their parent’s peace of mind that their information is safe and can be restored should disaster strike. Unfortunately we know from our research that disaster, in some form, will strike anyone who uses a PC or Laptop,” said Amy Motschwiller, co-founder of StudentBackup.com.
The proprietary software connects securely with the student’s computer through the Internet. StudentBackup.com automatically selects and backs up essential data files to an external safe and secure location. After each daily back up the students receive confirmation via e-mail of their successful backup.
Should a computer be lost, stolen, destroyed or malfunction, restoring information to a new computer is simple and secure, 24/7/365. All information is encrypted and the student alone, with an assigned password and key, can retrieve it readily.
Files containing personal identification or financial information are safe from identify theft and illegal use. StudentBackup.com uses powerful encryption software to protect data from hackers.
