Eternal Hibernate

nickmgray · 04-23-2006, 02:25 PM

Yesterday, by accident, I pressed the hibernate button on my desktop PC. I though it was no big deal, I'd just wait for it to shut down then I'd start it back up. Unfortunately the thing now will not power up.

I've pushed the power button, hibernate button, unpluged the fing and even opened it up and unplugged the motherboard and hard drive the from power supply, but still nothing.

I never noticed this before, but the power supply has a little green light on the back side that blinks and clicks a few times a second (even when unplugger) would this have anythign to do with the problem?

Anyone have any ideas on what it can be?

Maybe there is something wrong with the PSU, and thats what that green light is saying.

If you have another computer, try switching the PSU and seeing which one works.

unfortunately I do not have another PC to test that out on. The flashing light turn off if I unplug the power supply from the motherboard though. I really don't know why it just will not power on.

Sounds like a power supply problem, escpecially if the light on it blinks... Those, I beleive, are suppose to be solid either when the power's on, or when it's plugged in.

It's probably the power supply...make sure that the motherboard hasn't suffered a power surge. something could have affected parts of the mainboard.
