yeah well basically when i turn it on it seems to be normal, but the cpu fan seems to be spinning way faster than normal, the screen stays black with a "no signal" thing and it never get's past that, any ideas on what the problem is? the pc has had some overheating issues in the past. its a intel core 2 quad Q6600 if that helps.
all I know is that when I get the no signal thing, it means the plug for my monitor is loose on the PC... might be part if your issue
nope no beeps, if there were i would have know what to do, anyway i seem to have fixed the problem, i dont know what i did but it worked... thanks for the atemted help.
No signal = pc is off or not booting. No beeps = pc is off or not booting. Fan spinning and no signal/beeps = pc is not booting due to booting issue. Must have been some grounding issue (some short-circuit somewhere). Good that you solved it. Figure out how you fixed it, because you might encounter it again.
Haha oh my god, easily the best reply i've heard in ages, that's going in my sig But anyway if you've knocked your machine lately that may have knocked something out of place, i did it with mine and it cause such a bitchy shorting issue, can you guess how i fixed it :
