 |  Black Out, Then computer failure Today there was a black out. I was watching something on the computer when the black out attacked. After 30 mins, the power went bak up and i tried to turn the computer on. However, the keyboard lights just flashed once when i turn the computer on. The monitor is black, the light is still orange. I changed the ram but stil same results. What could be the problem? This is really bad..

| Re: Black Out, Then computer failure did you have a UPS or at least a surge protector plugged in at the time of the blackout?

| Re: Black Out, Then computer failure my guess the out had a surge when it did go out, or when it came back on. and please tell me you had a surge protector, or you might have to put big $$$ to get it fixed (new psu, mobo, cpu, ram, posibly hdd) |

I NEVER tried to overclock my computer!!! I did reset the bios but the OVER TEMP still shows up. Whats going on!?!?!

| Re: Black Out, Then computer failure can you get into the pc health center inside of the bios to check what the readings are, and also put a finger on the heatsink and check how hot it is, to make sure the readings are accurate, or if the sensor went out. |

  | Re: Black Out, Then computer failure on board graphics or a graphics card? try taking out your graphics card if your motherboard has integrated graphics and see if it works.
