So my PC is dead
Dottonedan:
Ok. So my PC is now dead. I had my wife's IT person (from her work) go over it with my wife on the phone and then had my guy (Pierre) go over it with me on the phone and no go. This is about the 3rd time it's just crashed and now it won't re- start at all. Both IT guys say take it to BEST BUY or some place to give it a once over. So, what do I do now? Well, I look over at my dusty Mac and say. hmmmm, I wonder if it runs? It was hit by the same power outage in fact, many times over the years. BING! It's on. Up and running again. It's a little slow but a good product.
Frog:
The last time I had a breakdown was the power supply after a power outage, and then it came back on (with no surge protector).
But it was pretty easy to diagnose as there was no power!
What are your symptoms? (not that I can offer much if Pierre can't help) but someone else may out there may get a clue.
Dottonedan:
Lights and sound come on the PC. No lights on the key board or wacom. No connection on he monitor. Light is on on the monitor but says (no signal). Basically, the PC does not power up all the way. My external hard drive does have a light one. All lights coming from the pC are on. PC makes a running sound, but no connection.
Checked all connections, restarted in multiple ways. Un plugged the power cord while on (I guess that can re-set things).
Still nothing.

do you keep your computers on a UPS, you should. Hard drives are very prone to damage to electrical surges. A good UPS will clear that up.
