| Apex Techie II | I just finished playing a game, came back a little later, and my computer was completely frozen. i hit restart, the fans turn on, i hear my cd-roms start spinning... and that it. My monitor isn't receiving any input, i'm almost completely sure my HDD's aren't spinning, and my mouse isn't getting power at all but the keyboard is. I unplugged it, popped out the cmos battery and switched the cmos jumper, waited awhile, replaced everything, and still nothing. what's going on?

| Apex Tech Fanatic | Do you have any diagnostic lights on your motherboard or do you hear any beeps? Sounds like there might be a short on your motherboard somewhere. Do you have a different graphics card you could try in your system? That could be causing the short. I had this happen to me and I just replaced my motherboard. My comp was fine after that but I never figured out what was wrong w/ the old board. Good luck.
