PC stuck in Power Save?
Help!
My PC won't come on the last couple days. No lights on my keyboard and when I power on the monitor it immediately goes into standby (amber light). When I turn on the CPU I can hear the fans going. Seems that there's no trouble there. Just can't get anything from my monitor. I tried a different (working) monitor to no avail. Did the same thing. Any ideas? |

No luck with BIOS. Can't get the monitor to come on to even see it.

That is not a good sign. It could be that ur video card took a crap, (just a guess).

Besides... No signs of life from my keyboard either. I think it's the computer itself that's stuck in standby.

Do you have 2 video cards?
Use the on-board video card and see if that works. |
