Im using another pc just now to write this. When i boot up my PC the monitor does not respond and turn on, and the keyboard does not respond to anything. This has happened to me before, does anyone have a clue what it could be? |

Are they plugged into your CPU (Central Processing Unit)? This is the gray or black box that has the power button you use to 'boot' up your computer (turn it on). |

Actually you are completely wrong there. The CPU is the main processing chip which is inserted into the motherboard and not the case the componant parts are housed in. Rudster do you get the BIOS details showing on the monitor when you first switch it on? If not, take out the graphics card and reseat it (assuming it is not onboard graphics. It could be a CPU or motherboard failure. |

Um mine used to do that. It was a hard disk problem. I found that after a few restarts though (keep trying) the monitor would 'catch on' and it would boot up normally. I had to restart around 50 times once... I formatted the drive afterwards and it helped some, although it still needs replacing. |

The hard drive would have anything to do with the screen flat out not working because the detection of the IDE devices takes place after the screen starts. In your case it is likely to be a motherboard issue which is effecting your IDE controller as well. |

Uh... I'm not going to question that :D |

Yeah, I realized that and it was part of the intent to be as un-helpful as possible while trying to sound knowledgeable. You know, like those people that think they know a lot about something but they really don't? Yeah. |
