Computer Trouble

May 5th, 2011 at 05:06 am

DS's desktop overheated and so he turned it off and now it won't turn back on. It's about 3 years old. This is a very frustrating time to have this happen. Since he's going to miss a week of school recovering from having his tonsils out, he was (if he was feeling up to it) going to be able to do his math and reading online to keep up a little bit. All the websites and passwords and stuff were saved on his computer. I know I can get them again, but it's just going to be time consuming and it'll mean he has to share with his sister who is not the sharingest person when it comes to computer time. Next week is going to be fun. *sighs* I wish we could buy him a new one, but that is not in the cards with all the medical bills we are going to be paying.

    Has he tried unplugging the power cord from the surge protector and or wall?

    My Desktop motherboard/or maybe it is the powersupply has a wierd thing built in that it will turn itself off to protect the computer. I have to unplug it from the power source then After it has cooled off replug it in. Then it will restart.

    If I do not unplug it from the power source it will not restart....I think the unplugging process reboots the security device.

    Hope it helps...I figured it was worth a suggestion.
