I was trying to set my pc up for internet use but wasnt working i turned it off, and took the cables out to move it however i hadnt realised it was still switched on!! now it only goes to bleck screen with only 1 line saying intel pentium 4. The fan is working however the keyboard doesnt seem to be, ive tried another keyboard but no luck so i cant even use f8 or anything!!! does anybody have any ideas? thanks
:sad:

Hya popethyniawn , welcome to PCHF.

What cables did you remove when the pc was on?


You could try to reset youre cmos by removing the motherboards battery and move a jumper next to it around. Have a look in youre motherboards manuall for specific instructions.

But usually it is a bad thing to disconnect things whil the pc is powered up im afraid.

All of the cables sadly! the tv was on you see, so i couldn't hear the fan properly and i assumed it was off! so do you think its had it? what would i need to replace to have it running again?

:cry: Oh Dear Pope,

You obviously have power, and some graphics capabilities. Can you please post the other items in your system, HD/s, CD and DVD drives, Separate vid and sound cards, RAM, as well as the model of your Motherboard and CPU? When you plugged in all of the cables did you also hook your accessories back up, printer, scanner etc? If so, make sure that they are disconnected while you are troubleshooting.

You might try removing all of the extraneous items, and try booting with just the motherboard, cpu, one stick of RAM, keyboard and mouse, and see if you can get any farther, at least into BIOS.

Hopefully one of our hardware gurus will be online soon.

Look forward to your reply,

TTFN

You may have knocked your graphics card out of place by accident, try removing it then putting it back in let me know thx dave

Glad to hear it was just the wireless card , and not the motherboard or something.


Marked as Fixed , and see you around.
