Thanks impakt, his problem looks alot like mine. I don't understand half of the expressions, tho. I'll keep on reading.

edit: Ha, so it was the graphics card. But my graphic card is integrated in my mothercard... Soooooo...... I'll take the comp to a shop tomorrow, I don't have a ride for today.

Dude, this happens to a lot of people and it freaks them out. If you install new hardware then some mobo's require you to press a buttton while its booting up. Theres many different mobo's so theres also many different buttons that are assigned. I suggest to try tapping 'delete', 'F9', or 'Escape', just to name a few, while your comp is booting up. You need to tap it fast and if it dont work then manually shut it down and try another button. Do this with the 3 buttons i mentioned, one of them is likely to work.

I've tried another monitor (The one I'm using right now), didn't work.

Juan, I haven't installed new hardware... I added 500mb of ram when I got the comp, that's it... =/

It goes on full speed.

No beep.

Sounds like a boot for about 3 seconds.

I don't hear windows starting with my headphones.


Anywya, I'm bringing it to the shop tomorrow.
