When I turn my pc on it powers up, the fan starts but no boot up occurs. The hard disk light is on continuously.

actually, my money is on bad hdd instead...... mobo could be the problem as well but hdd are way more prone to failure and although mobos do break... hdd's break WAY more often

QUOTE No I get no beeps, no tests of CD drives etc. My screen stays completeley blank throughout Think twice! If it was a bad HDD, it would have said "no system disk" or sth. |
