I just thought i fixed my computer but then it came back. When i press the button to turn on my computer, nothing happens. My fans are on, the power is on, and everything is on, but nothing happens. Does that have to do with my hardware or software? This very annoying, i hate my computer.
please help me, travis

Travis,

I was trying to tell you that you have a hardware problem in your other thread.

If your computer hangs while you're in the bios screen, then this is a hardware problem.

It could be your motherboard(bios, maybe?), ram, cpu, video card.. or your power supply.

Change your power supply if you have one laying around. Just because the fans are spinning, doesn't mean the 12 volt rails are any good.

I'm not saying it is the power supply causing you heartache, but you need to eliminate the possibility.

Reset your bios also.

Clear your CMOS using the jumper(button if you have it) or removing the battery. You need to remeber the detail write them down otherwise we cant help you. This sounds like a hardware problem and even of it isnt you need to eliminate hardware as the problem.
Also system specs are needed, is it built or did you buy it. And is all your connected hardware showing in bios.
