This may not be a cable issue.

Could you power off the computer and open her up.

Locate the BIOS battery near the battery should be 4 pins two will have a plastic jumper on.Remove jumper onto the empty pins for two minutes.Then replace on origonal two.

Or similar remove BIOS battery for two mins replace reboot.

I also asume the BIOS battery could be old and needs replacing.

Bios batteries should be replaced every two years.

Or before that if they become damaged,maybe due to a power outtage this can kill a battery but not always.

Is the computer actualy powering on?Can you here the fans spin up?

Are any lights on for example the front of the computer?
