1 day of perfect Vista, then nothing
2 days ago I installed Vista RC2. Everything went perfect, ready and working.
Until yesterday. When I started the computer, the screen stays black and nothings happend. The only thing that happens was that the computer was making a lot of noise (the van was making overtime!) I can't give any information because I don't have any idea were to look! Mabey it has nothing to do with Vista but I really don't know!

Sound like a hardware problem. If the fan is making a lot of noise open the
case and look at the fan. Is it running fast, or going fast and slow? If the latter the fan is dying and the pc won't come on to avoid damage through overheating. If the fan is simply running extra fast all the time, the cpu is running too hot. Either way get a friend with hardware experience to help you.

Mabey it has nothing to do with Vista but I really don't know! it really sounds like your computer is not passing POST (Power On Self Test). which generaly means what spirefm is saying. there is something wrong with hardware. if the computer is not giving you any beeps it may not be hardware, but from what you said about the fan i would agree with spirefm, sounds like the fan is what is keeping the computer from coming on. it doesnt have anything to do with the OS. at this point the OS isnt doing any work whatsoever. its only BIOS getting your computer started. |

Thanks, I was thinking in the same direction. I've took the computer to
someone who knows more of hardware problems than me. So, now I wait and wil hear his verdict..... "Confucious" wrote: "twinkelpinkel" wrote: 2 days ago I installed Vista RC2.
