ZoneFifteen Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I just built a new computer for my grandma and it worked fine for about 4 days now. Today when I went to boot it up the power light on the monitor just stayed orange. I tried hooking another computer up to the monitor and it worked fine. I tried swapping out the video card and it still didnt work, i tried taking all the cards out and starting up i tried clearing the CMOS but it still wont boot up. The board is an Abit KR7A-133 with a AMD 1700 XP processor, please help you guys, I cannot figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YahoKa Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 He said he tried clearing the CMOS. If i had to take a wild guess, i would say power supply problem. Does the computer make any sound like its trying to boot up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
