Take a windows XP CD, Switch on your PC and go to "BIOS" menu and select "Boot From CD/DVD" whichever is applicable for your pc. Now insert the Win Xp disc i drive and start PC, Boot the Pc From CD Drive and you shall get the Blue screen of windows Installation. Restart the PC by hard pressing the power button for 30 secs. Now you will be able to login to windows.
Try your monitor on another machine - if it is working you have operating system/hard drive/motherboard/memory/heating problems. You must work that out if the monitor is good.
Hi,
If it is DVD Drive, then sometimes in BIOS you'll also find the option for DVD Drive together with CD Drive. Choose the correct one and boot your PC.
Please come back and vote for me, if this turns to be helpful for you.
Thnx
If you mean after the computer performs the self test the screen goes blank and stays blank, eventually turning off you are having a hard drive problem. When the computer boots you should see an E-Machines logo and/or a self test on the screen. That is done by the motherboard as part of every boot up. After that the motherboard passes control to your boot device and loads your operating system. If your computer stops booting at that point, your boot device is not working properly. That could be caused by many things - virus, hardware failure, power outage.
If you really mean you see nothing at all on the screen when you press the power button your computer simply is not working at all. Open the case, blow all the dust out of it and reseat all components you can, then try again.
