Title: Uggh Computer Help Please
Post by: Kestastrophe on October 04, 2009, 12:25:02 PM
So, my Crysis Ultra PCTM that is barely a year old is having problems  :-\. Yesterday, the screensaver was stuck and the machine was unresponsive so I had to do a hard reset. When it comes back on, there is nothing coming up on the display, the blue led light on the front of the case isn't coming on, and none of the devices are recognized by the computer. It still turned on because the fans were very loud. So i snoop on the internetz for awhile and find out that it might be the motherboard battery. I change the battery and the blue led light comes back on now, but there is still nothing on the display and my keyboard still isn't recognized. Thinking it might be the GPU, I hooked up a VGA cable to the integrated video card and still nothing is coming up. It is definitely not my monitor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Motherboard. My old computer had that problem; the monitor light would be orangish instead of blue with nothing being displayed on the screen.  :'(

I'm close to hitting the 1 year mark since I build my computer and it's still truckin'. I'm kinda expecting something to go wrong before January lol

That's what I thought :'(. Is there any chance that it fried any of my other components? I contacted the manufacturer. My ship date was 9/26/08, which means that I am only 1 week out of warranty. Those fuckers better cover it, or at least cover some kind of repair  :maf

*update: I talked to Tech support and they are thankfully covering the repair, even though it is a full 5 days out of warranty. When I was on the phone with the agent, I was getting ready to put up a fight. He dinit want none of dis  :punch
