I turn it on, the screen kind of lights up nothing shows up on the screen at all at any time and that's it nothing happens. I don't hear the fan come on at all anymore and the restor cd's do nothing.

are you powering up with your battery alone, or are you plugged into an outlet?\n\nhow old is your computer? is it worth spending money to fix it by going to a computer repair shop?  are your files very valuable?

Go into Device Manager, uninstall the cdrom, then reboot. If that doesn't work, reinstall the drivers from the disk that came with the burner, or OS. If you don't have these disks, then download the drivers from the manufacturer's website. What's happening is that you might have corrupted drivers that may need to be reinstalled, or, replaced with newer ones. :)

Does your monitor do or show anything at all? Or is it completely dead. Check the cords and make sure they didnt fall off. When you turn the computer on do you get a boot up screen and then it goes dead? If so the monitor is ok. The monitor driver my be corrupt or deleted itself, or you might have a bad video card. Try this turn the computer and the monitor on and unplug the monitor cord from the back of the computer if the monitor is ok you should get a message on the screen telling you that it is disconnected from the computer, if you get this message then the cord or the video card or driver is bad. If you have a friend with a computer ask them if you can borrow their monitor. Disconnect your monitor and reconnect it using their cord if it still wont work your cord is fine if it works you then need a new cord. If it still wont work connect their monitor and see if it works if it does then you need a new monitor if it does the same thing that yours is doing, then it is something else and not the monitor or the cord. If their monitor doesnt work either then it could be the the video card or the driver. To see if it is the driver or the video card since you cant check it in the device manager because your monitor isnt working do this. Notice where the cord plugs into the back of the computer,open the computer up hopefully you have a plug in video card (plugs in slots on the board and can be removed) the other kind is a onboard video card which is built onto the board. If you have a removeable card be carefull and pull it out of the computer. Start the computer up and let it run for a couple of minutes then turn the computer off this will clear a corrupt driver from the system bios. Turn the computer back on if the card is ok it and the driver is bad it will ask ask you if you want to reinstall the driver click yes it will the ask you from where click MS web site also click on the C drive make sure that you have it so it searches all the C drive. It will then do a search and if it finds the driver it will ask you if you want to install it, click yes, after you are done, restart the computer if the monitor still doesnt work more then likely the video card is shot.You can find a decent one for around 60-70 dollars at Best Buy. If you have an onboard card then you have no choice but to try a new card. There should be a slot on the board for it just make sure when you plug the cord back in to plug it into the new card and not the onboard connection. As for copying the files dumbbutt4321 hit it on the head go to radio shack and by cross over cables they plug into the usb connectors!!\nP.S. once again I have read answers from people that DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. You can NOT switch a hardrive from 1 computer to another without formatting it.. The reason being is that EVERY CPU has a unique identifier on it that installs it self into the BIOS and on to the hardrive. It matches the CPU and hardrive together. Because of this a hardrive will not work if you take it out of one computer and put it into another one without formatting the drive. You have to erase that unique identifier off the drive so that when you switch them the CPU will do its thing and put the id on the new drive so it will match up again! I wish that all you BACK YARD so called computer geeks would leave this stuff up to those of us that actually spent months and alot of money going to school to learn computers and and take tests to get certified. All you manage to do is f+ck up the peoples computer more then it is already!!!!!!!                                                                            GOOD LUCK!!!!\n                             ZEUS

Take it in to a shop and have them look at your power supply. It sounds like that could well be your problem. If so, it is a fairly easy fix. Trust me, it happens way too often of late. Good luck.

More likely, your fan is bad.  If it was the power supply, you would notice more issues with the actual computer.

Be careful.  Get fans around it.  Your going to need a new fan, it could be tomorrow or in a couple of months, but it is about to quit.  Until you can get a new fan, get a portable fan down there to cool your system down or you could end up with "melt down".  Good luck.

If not even light is blinking on the drive when booting up pc, either your drive is totally dead need to be replaced or your power cable is not connected/providing the power needed to the drive.\nOpen you pc case and check it, check the data cable connecting to it too, try swapping power cable with harddrive etc.\nwhen reboot go to bios, your bios should able to recognize the cd drive when showing your harddrive.

Turn the power on and leave it for a while, just to see if anything happens.  Are you running the laptop off the battery or mains power?  Just to test, run the laptop off mains.\n\nAlso, check that the fans are working properly and the airways arent blocked.  Just check that everything is seated properly and nothing is left unplugged. Be methodical, so you can eliminate the obvious.\n\nSo could be one of the following:\nFaulty hard disk\nFaulty memory\nFaulty processor\nFaulty mainboard\n\nSorry cant think of anything else\n\nBattery Wizard

well it tells you that the motor is getting a little slow and you might want to check it out because if your fans dont work then your computer will over heat and give the blue screen of death (die on you) so i would try to see if that can be fixed

1.check your power cord for the computer\n2.try plugging it into a different electric plugin place\n3.make sure the power supply fan is running on back of the CPU tower

It sounds like it is staying in Standby Mode.\nRight Click Desktop> Screen Saver> Power>   System Stanby and Hibernates to (NEVER).\n\nGo to to system Setup. Restart your system and press F2.\nand set power Management.\nHarry

It is possibly overheating. Check the fan. Check power supply, it could be going out. If not:\nYou probably need to reorder your BIOS by hitting del on startup. If you dont know how to do this please dont try, get help first.\nHere is a search of this problem, choose one of these forums that seems most similar to your system and ask them. They should be able to help. Its hard to troubleshoot a problem on Yahoo Answers as we cannot easily have continuous dialogue.\n\nGood Luck!\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=computer+restarting+over+and+over

This is extremely odd as in all my years of servicing computers as a technician, I have never heard of a computer screen going black because of a system restore. Lets see, go through a basic check up first.\n\n1. Turn on monitor, attach the wire to video card.\n2. Make sure the contrast and brightness are set properly.\n3. Move your mouse and press ENTER and ESC on your keyboard exit any possible hibernating states.\n\nNow for troubleshooting...\n1. What caused your computer to need to get system restored in the first place? If it is a virus, it might be the cause of this problem and try turning on the system with your system boot disk or windows disk (however this is usually very rare).\n2. Ask yourself, is the system on and running and do you hear the normal beeps and sounds that the pc normally makes when it is booting? (If the answer is yes, then this problem is usually not a software problem as things are running smoothly, it's just that nothing is showing on your monitor. Try getting ahold of another monitor and see if that works. \n3. What color is the monitor's power light? (Usually it is green or orangish). If it is orangish, that means your computer is not recieving the signal from your computer system.\n4. Wait for a few minutes and press ENTER / ESC every thirty seconds or so. If nothing happens, after about 2 minutes or so (about the time it takes the pc so turn on, press ATL F4 and Enter a few times. If the PC turns of, that means it has successfully booted and you definitely have a hardware problem.)\n\nIf none of these solutions worked, feel free to email me at bqm1234@yahoo.com as I am quite interested at what is causing this problem and we can sort it out from there.

It would make noise when the processor gets hot and the fan kicks in. Sounds like a cooling issue. Have it checked and it probably needs the vents cleared or it is being blocked. Since it's new it should still be under warranty. So don't wait before it expires before you bring it in for service.

Try to see if there is some LED (on its front panel) activity. if LED doesn't lit, it seems you've got a dead drive. you could also try to insert a paper clip (straightened) in the manual opening hole, but I don't think this will help, as the tray is already open...\npossible causes: burned tray motor or its driver IC/transistors; fvcked-up gears; power cable not full inserted in its socket; data cable loose (unlikely); close button malfunction (dead/broke).\nif it's only a CD ROM drive, it can be real cheap (less than 20 US$), but if it's a DVD or writer... you can raise up to 120 or more.\n\nMy advice? if nothing works, even if you don't feel comfortable about this, go to your father and tell him. he will understand and appreciate your honesty. and for crying out loud, rest assured he knows things broke eventually. maybe he can replace the $hit drive if it's in warranty.
