Computer problems: Need tech help
Ok so I have this compaq desktop pc which is about 2-3 years old. One night we had a power trip in the building and now when I turn it on the green light flashes (as opposed to being stationary). So I had it looked at by a pc tech today. I brought the pc to his shop and when he hooked it up and everything alas! It turned on, loaded and went directly to xp welcome screen (with username prompt).
So I went home with it and when I turned it on at my place the same thing happens..the green light was flashing and nothing came on my screen. WTF? Does anyone know what the real problem is? I must have tried every outlet inside the apt. and still the same.
Thanks in advance.

It might be your monitor.

check your monitor plus get yourself a good surge protector.

flashing light usually means communication issues. try connecting your laptop to the monitor and see if you have the same problem when using the monitor for your laptop display...

Sounds like your power supply.
Just because you don't know about it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist: http://www.hungangels.com/board/view...=asc&start=158

Remove the battery and reinstall. And or check the power cord where it plugs into the pc, a lot of times they fail from being twisted so many times. Look on the bottom of the pc for a reset button, looks like a little hole that you can stick a paperclip end in. Good luck...

Danny is right! I took off and brought back my pc this time with my monitor to the tech guy. As it turns out, It was my power supply that went bad. So I got it replaced! :P
