Hey all, new to the forums. Found you guys by doing a Google search, but the answer didn't quite apply to my situation! I was hoping the tech experts here can help me solve this!
My computer is about 3 years old now and I will say it has seen many hours, but recently I tried to get it running again. It would turn on fine at first, but then I began to have to reset it every once in a while to get it to "BEEP" and begin booting.
I tried to recover with my DVD from CyberPower, but it would freeze during the load (Green bar would stop).
I had thought the hard drive was going bad, so I reformatted it and checked it for errors, but nothing.
I traded out a different hard drive from a different manufacturer that I had purchased later on and still it did not load.
I re-seated all the components and for a couple boots, it would get past the load screen, but it would turn into a black (blank) screen and wouldn't load the setup.
I even get a green motherboard light and sometimes an orange light (solid). I had a problem with a motherboard failure with a laptop I had purchased from them before and I suspect this one is going again. Any ideas from the community? The specs for the computer are below (from purchase).
