Hi everyone!

Im trying to fix a computer for a friend, the computer was all unplugged and moved upstairs but when they come to turn it on at the wall the computer starts straight away, the usb devices connected power up and you can hear the hard drive starts to read but it keeps reading and then stopping every second and the light on the front keeps flicking on and off. then the cpu fan starts but nothing else happens, the computer doesnt boot and the power switch doesnt do do anything either. The computer is a emachines desktop about 5 years old. i need any advice as soon as possible!

Thanks so much in advance,

David

sounds like a rough move ,usually what happens when people move computers is they twist the case a bit and move pci cards and ram ,so open case and reseat all pci cards and the Ram.and ied cables to the hdd and cdroms .
