Default start up issues


Hi guys and gals

I really hope someone out-there can help me as I at my wits end over
this problem:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cr y:,
where do I start........mmmmm... so as far as I can remember it all
started after an update for MS office + gfx driver and then all the
problems began, mainly my PC won't start up properly, no signal to any
of my monitors, my mouse and keyboard don't work, blue and green lights
on my tower running constantly and fans on full.
The only way I can get it to boot up properly is to do a hard re-boot(I
have to leave it unplugged for at least an hour to do this) and has been
like this for almost a fortnight now, I have already tried 1). restoring
it to before the update. 2). CHKDSK. 3). repair with installation disk.
4). changing power options. 5). un-installed Microsoft Office.
5).updated to most recent nvidia graphics card drivers.
Can't think of what else at the moment but have been going through the
forum and google to no avail..... so can anyone help


many thanks in advance Mic

Looks like a reinstall needed to get you running again.

There is clearly a hardware problem. A bad power supply is one likely
possibility.

I've checked the power supply and HDD's and even swapped into my other
PC and they work fine there
what stumps me is when I have it up and running it runs so SWEET, it'll
restart and boot up fine but if I shut it down it then won't boot

Leaving the computer off for 1 hour before it boots up properly should tell
you what is causing the problem - heat! The computer cools sufficiently in
that time to allow proper operation.

Check that all the fans are spinning freely when nudged with your finger.
Listen for any mechanical noises, other than air flow. Look for clogged heat
fins in the CPU heat sink and the video card heat sink. Make sure the fan in
the power supply is spinning and that the P/S is not clogged with dust
bunnies.

It won't boot up into Windows or it won't bootup at all?

It's possible your video is sending signal outside the operating range of
your video monitor. That could cause your monitor to display a blank
screen, even though everything else is running fine.

If you can get into Windows Safemode consistently this maybe your problem.

after a hard reboot it runs fine UNTIL I switch the PC off it then
starts to play up again but if I just do a restart it'll boot up no
problem at all or even if I put it into sleep mode it usually wakes no
problem
