Computer Cannot start

Expand Post »
IBM Thinkpad Machine cannot start. Once it started and displayed Warning that desktop was recovered and then it hanged. Now it cannot start completely. I wonder what would be wrong. I remove RAM and HDD and nothing happens. I returns everything in place, yet nothing

The friend reported that, the crash was due to game, and I thought may be the fan wasn't working properly but it does. I have checked anything I can think of, but nay, I hit the wall. Any suggestion??

Re: Computer Cannot start

i'd advise you to try reinstalling windows or repairing it. Boot the computer using the Windows CD and choose the repair option. i hope this solves your problem.

Re: Computer Cannot start

sounds hardware related to me, you could try take it somewhere, or pull it apart, but perhaps it is just time...

Re: Computer Cannot start

Ok It sometimes Gets on and I get into XP and after sometime, it gets on but displays nothing

I suspect CMOS battery to be exhausted. What are symptoms of exhausted CMOS battery? Can it be the cause?

Re: Computer Cannot start

Nah - an exhausted CMOS battery will generate a BIOS error mentioning CMOS.

Something is corrupted or hardware is behaving intermittently (could be bad motherboard junction). Virus/Trojan is also a possibility but I suspect it's hardwre - not CMOS.
