When the power button is pressed the computer seems to be running fine. The power and activity lights both come on, the fans start and the hard drive and cd roms both start up. After that there is nothing, doesn't even come close to loading the OS. There is no beep and the floppy drive doesn't flash. The computer just seems to stall there for an eternity. The monitor doesn't show anything, just stays blank and receives no signal. Nothing internally was touched. It was working one night and the next morning it was goosed. It has booted very rarely, after countless attempts, but always shuts down randomly.
Is there anything worth trying or should it be launched into the nearest skip?
Cheers
