I have just read threw that..and it is asking me about beeps ....there is no beeps when i start my computer and i have no clue what or where the mother board is..i have takin the side panel off and turned the power back on to see that the fans are working ...what can i do??? or is there anything ...for someone who knows nothing bout a computer..lol...thanks
 
If you aren't computer savvy, you may need to find someone that is and have them help you. It's possible the onboard video is dead or a hardware issue like a bad hard drive. Does the computer have a hard drive activity light? If so, when you turn the computer on does it come on and go off?
 
Try unplugging it from the wall. Press and hold the power button a few times. Plug it back up and see what happens.
 
Tried to unplug and see what happens and the fan ran for a second but no sounds..no beeps..but the fan is running....???
 
Hard to tell with something like this unless you have parts to swap out till you hit it. My first guess is the power supply, not saying go buy one. Like johnb35 said on post 4.
 
a power supply..as in a new plug....but i have power goin to stuff..my fan is running the whole time if i have it turned on??

As in power supply itself. Could be a dead or weak rail, but like said, not telling you to buy one.

Chances are its something to do with the power supply or motherboard. Like in post 4, if you know anybody good with computers let then check it out or maybe let a shop look at it.
