Re install Win 7 as a fresh install and install the system drivers. There are no updates for Win 7 as Win 7 is no longer supported.

1. take out the memory
2. turn on again without memory (you should hear long beep sound) and turn it off again
   
3. clean memory using eraser (better if you have spare memory to replace it)
4. now try again
   
5. if not working, checks whether the work properly? and clean the fan from dust. and try to switch it on again.

I look forward to hearing further.

Kindly check if the lights are on when u boot up the PC, furthermore, if you have air blower, clean it once, and remove the rams from the ram slots and install again, if u have more than 1 ram installed, install one ram at a time to check if there is any faulty one.

what GW PC non told for 29 years made and 100's of models tell what model it is first or you will get wrong answers like taking car to the shop and hood welded shut, and engine misfiring. just like that we can not work blind, period

Payment gateways are an easier way of paying for the items you plan to buy without being present physically or with hard cash. When you are planning to buy some clothes or any other product online, you need to be able to pay for it at once. Unlike going to a physical store and swiping your card, you get to transact the money virtually to the vendor. The web page that makes this possible is a payment gateway. Many service providers connect with different web portals and banks to give you a variety of payment options such as debit card, credit card, net banking, Sodexo points and even cash on delivery. With a payment gateway, you need to enter your card details for a secure transaction, and you can instantly pay for the items you wish to buy. This is relatively simple, and payment gateway providers such as PayUMoney are extremely popular because they offer quick transactions and no margin for error!For more information https://www.payumoney.com/

Which operating system ? Which version of Media player ? Though designed with Windows 7 in mind, Windows Media Player 11 (WMP 11) is fully compatible with Windows XP. The trick is knowing which version of WMP 11 to download. Different versions of the software exist not only for Windows 7, Vista, and XP, but also for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP. Additionally, WMP 11 is only compatible with XP if it is using Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3. Before downloading the appropriate installation file, you will need to verify which version your system requires. Open the "Start" menu. Open "My Computer." Click "Help", then select "About Windows." This will display a window with system information. Find the listing that specifies your Service Pack. If you are operating without Service Pack 2 or 3, you will need to install one (see Resources). Open the "Start" menu and click "Run." Within the text field, type "winmsd.exe." Click "OK." Select "System Summary." Find the heading labeled "Item." Under this heading should be the word "Processor." The value associated with "Processor" will determine which version of Windows XP you are running. If the value begins with "x86," you are running a 32-bit version. If it begins with "ia64" or "AMD64," then you are running a 64-bit version. Download the Windows Media Player installation file that matches your version of Windows (see Below). http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-media-player Open the file once it has finished downloading. This will launch the installation wizard. Follow the onscreen instructions to install WMP 11. The program should now run normally. How to Fix Windows Media Center Windows Media Center is the home entertainment hub on a Windows computer. With Media Center, you can play live television, songs, DVDs and slideshows. It is preinstalled on Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows Vista Home Premium/Ultimate Edition and Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions. From time to time, users run into issues trying to play audio or video files, or with an extender connected to Media Center. Extenders are devices that allow you to "extend" the Media Center onto a TV screen or larger display. The Xbox 360 gaming console is an example of an extender. Launch Windows Media Center from your computer's Start menu. Scroll down to "Music" on the Media Center home screen. Select "Music library." If you find an empty folder under "Music Library," navigate to the folder on your hard drive that stores your music file and add it to Media Center's library. If the problem isn't an empty folder, look at the file extension on the music file that won't play. Media Center can't play files with unknown or incompatible extensions. If you find a questionable extension, skip that file. Click once on another file with a different extension, one you know is compatible with Media Center, and then click "Open" to test if you can play that one. Media Center will play MP3, CDA, WAV and other music file formats. Open Windows Media Player from the Start menu if you receive a codec error while trying to play either audio or video files. If you open the file in Media Player, the codec will download automatically. You should then be able to play the file in Media Center. Troubleshoot your firewall settings if a Media Center extender doesn't work. You'll have a problem using an extender if Windows Firewall blocks it. Go to "Control Panel" from the Start menu and double-click on "Windows Firewall." Click on "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall." Click to check "Media Center Extenders." Click on "Apply." Check external speaker cables to make sure they're connected if you can't hear any sound. Check the computer's volume settings by clicking on the "VOL+" icon at the bottom right corner of the main Media Center screen to make sure the volume is not turned off or down too low. You may need to reconfigure your speakers if you're having volume or sound issues. Scroll down to "Tasks" in the Media Center home screen and select "Settings." Click on "General" and select "Windows Media Center Setup." Click on "Set Up Your Speakers." Follow the on-screen prompts to reconfigure your speakers.

01-E or 07-C? there seems to be variations on that model. Our computer guru Larry, will probably know if there are MANY more.
