OK that is much more information and very important
information
Question:
When you turn the power back on, do you get anything at
all on the screen? A splash screen picture for the BIOS?
Any writing at all?
If not, then I (being versed in computer insides) would
open up my computer case and reseat all parts inside
(memory, pci cards, hard drive cables, etc.) Then reboot
and see if that makes a difference.
