Gilly Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Hi, I'm having problems with my PC and need advice from people who actually know what they're talking about! The PC is a Packard Bell and runs Windows XP Home Edition. When I turn the computer on I hear the fans running, but the monitor remains blank. I've checked the connections and they're fine, and the monitor isn't broken so I know the fault isn't with it. Also the computer will not switch off, no matter how long I hold the power button down for. The only way to switch it off is at the mains. Further info! I was planning to install new anti-virus software on the pc, as it had just expired - pc had not been switched on since it expired, but my first thought was that it could be virus related? On a chat someone suggested it could be a bad motherboard, what do you think? And if so will replacing the motherboard fix the problem? Any advice is appreciated! Quote
