Read other answersI recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.

Hi i have a issue with my HP Pavilion g6-2231ec. I used it without battery because battery is dead, just power connector. Notebook works normaly but on a next day it won't turn on. It only blink one time near power plugin. When pressing the power button the button light doesn't even light.I tried to test it with friend power adapter but won't turn on. But we tried to get battery to it (without adapter), and everything works. I decided to change power DC Jack Power Cable and it doesn't help. It is the same. I don't understand what's wrong. Thanks for reply.

Read other answersI can't turn my computer on. The fans and lights turn on for a second and then turn off. a few seconds later they'll turn back on and then turn back off. I've had this computer for 4+ months now, i built it myself. it recently started doing this but i'd just turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit) and turn it back on and it woould fix it. now it doesnt fix it anymore. i've re-slotted the RAM (Random Access Memory) and pushed it in firmly, but that hasn't done anything. i've tried different power outlets and pushed everything into the MOBO (Motherboard), i havent messed around with CPU (Processor) because that's just a pain in the a**... i was wondering if there was anything else i could do before having to take it into a local repair shop, lol.
as for my computer specs
CPU (Processor): Fx-6300 AMD
GPU: R9-270x AMD
RAM (Random Access Memory): 8GB Ballistix sport
MOBO (Motherboard): ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0
PSU (Power Supply Unit): Corsair X500 w 80+
Case: Rosewill GALAXY
thanks
First, I would unplug everything that isn't necessary. Everything external except for the keyboard and monitor. Internally, just leave the CPU, RAM and video card installed. See if it turns on. If not, you might try and test the power button. Disconnect the power button from the mobo. If the pin headers allow for it, use the reset button as the power button. If not, you can use a flat head screwdriver to power on the computer (cross the two pins for the power button with the blade of the screwdriver). If you do this, just be very careful. Touch only the power button pins and nothing else! You could easily damage components by touching the screwdriver to the wrong thing.
Some motherboards have a power button right on the board that you can press to power on the computer. I looked at a pic of your board and didn't notice one.
If that doesn't do it, plug the power button back in. You might try and play around with the RAM. I don't know if you have 2 or 4 sticks of RAM, but try and boot the computer with only one stick of RAM at a time. If there's a bad stick, you'll find it through this process of elimination.
If none of the above works, then it might be a bad PSU.
fter connecting the AC power supply to CPU and on pressing start button , CPU light does not blink spontaneously ,It took 3 to 5 minutes to start blinking and window start immediately as light start blinking on start button .Reliability report does not show any error.Pl suggest me some remedial action
Ehm, CPU is "central processing unit", a computer component. It does not have a light linked to its operation. If by CPU you mean the whole machine, call it "computer".
If that led is close to a symbol that resembles a lightbulb, then it's the power led, and tells if your computer is actually getting power or not. It should go on when you press the power switch and remain on until you shut down the computer.
If it is close to a cylinder symbol, it is the memory usage led, and tells if your computer is reading from its main internal memory device. It does blink randomly when in normal operation and if you don't experience other issues you can safely disregard it.
Other leds can indicate the wifi connection or whatever the maufacturer thought to place there, if it's not one of the above, try to describe it or find an image of it from google.
Please follow this tutorial to fill your system specs (step 7 to do it automatically), so we can know what is the thing you have in your hands. Without knowing more, help provided will be limited.
I ordered some new stuff, sound card, headset. So, i wanted to clean up my
computer before it got to the house. so i cleaned out everything, looking nice. i
put in the new Asus D2X and connect the Roccat Kave headset and the computer
only started for a split second. at this point only the fans and such connected
directly to my PSU would jitter / light up. So i took out my g
GFX card and...waaala. It worked, so i messed around playing with the cool Asus
software listening to 5.1 demos. Anyway I Talked to one of my friends who told me
to reconnect the video card into the primary slot instead. So i tried it and it did the
same thing again. Also i tried my backup video card with nothing doing. blinked
and stutterd for a millisecond and stopped, as it did before. Now, it is clear, i felt
relieved all it was, was the video card. so i can just use onboard until i find a good
deal, because my audio setup cost me 260$. Basically the question here is
why does it not work now as it did before i tried to setup the GFX card again. It
acts like the graphics card is still in there shorting it out or something.
please help, Thank you,

none of them working ......need help!!!!!!
I had previously hooked this up to my big screen via the hdmi. The next morning I went to turn it on and got nothing. Holding the power button down with power plugged in, not plugged in any combination for 1 - 120 seconds produces the same exact result. The little light on the " i " lights up for exactly 4 seconds and then nothing. I have tried a different power cord and get the exact same result. I have tried using the emergency reset with a needle on the back of the device...same result. Any help would be great.
Can you clarify when you say it "lights up for exactly 4 seconds", is it a solid light or a blinking light?

Read other 1 answersHi,
I upgraded my HP Pavilion a1540n Desktop to Windows 7 a week ago. Ever since, my hard drive light constantly blinks. After looking at the disk activity in the Windows Resource Monitor and doing some research I am leaning towards the page file as the problem. I am not sure if that is in fact the problem as there seems to be quite a few processes creating high disk activity, including Firefox profile cache, $Logfile, and MpWppTracing.bin. I only have 1GB of RAM. Would I be better served to add RAM before doing anything else like using Cacheman?
Do you actually have constant hard drive activity, or is the light just blinking?

My Yoga 3 was bought 3 months ago at a local retailer. It had been an open box model. A couple of nights ago while using it, my wife got a Blue Screen of some variety. Since then, the machine doesn't work at all. When I push the power button (or the reset button next to it), the KB backlight comes on and power light comes on for about a second and then they both shut off. This cycle is repeated indefinitely until I hold down the power button at which time everything goes off. That is the only response I get from the thing. This machine is only 3 months old but I cannot find any way to get in touch with Lenovo for any kind of support, so I thought I would try here first. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sure, it could be dead...or not. Have you rebooted the router? Pull the power and let if sit off for a minute then power it back on.

Hello wowlau, Thank you for posting on the HP Forums! I understand you would like to turn off the light next to the webcam. I will do what I can to assist you! This light is known as the "webcam light". It is shining while turned on. To turn off the light, you will need to turn off the webcam. If you want to turn it off: 1. Go into Control Panel.2. Click on Hardware and Sound.3. Click on Device Manager.4. Go to Imaging Devices, and double-click on the webcam entry that appears below it.5. Go to the Driver tab, and click Disable. Confirm it if asked to do so. This should turn off the webcam, as well as the light. If you want to enable it in the future, follow the same five instructions above. Just click Enable instead of Disable. These steps should help you out. Either way, please provide your results. Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day! Mario

Read other 10 answersI was on my computer when the screen went white, computer would not restart unless I unplugged it from the power supply. It came back on but then a few minutes later it went black and it has not came back on since. The light comes on in the front but that is it. I took the side of and when i try to turn it on the fan in the back jumps a little and a led comes on. I don't know much but I am mad it quit working. It is less than 2 yrs old Gateway Gt 5012 Media Center. Please HELP!!!
First try would be to test the PSU (fan in the back thingy where you plug the mains cable in). Do NOT try taking it apart. Ever. You can check it with either a proper tester or by fitting another PSU on a temp basis.

The light in my mouse used to turn off when I turned my computer off. Now it stays on.
How do I get it to turn off?

Its a setting in the BIOS that is tied in with one of several options, such as "wake on" or legacy USB support.
It allows USB devices to wake a computer from standby. It varies according to each BIOS maker and BIOS version.

I accidentally installed a new gpu with the power supply cord in and I forgot that it was in there. I tried to turn the pc on and nothing happened. The motherboard light is still on.
I'm trying to help a friend with an HP PC that is fairly new - runs Win XP but don't know any other spec details.
The power supply's green light is on - but pressing the ON button does nothing... no noise, no fan no nothing. Is it that the power supply has gone out - even though the green light is on? Or is it the motherboard?
I could put in a new power supply for her but I hate to buy one then find out it's the motherboard.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks!
