You
press the power button on your CPU, and nothing happens. You press it
again. You wait a bit, then press it again. It seems your computer
has finally flatlined... or has it? Before scrapping it and heading
to PC World, try this technique:
Unplug
the power lead from the CPU. Not the plug at the wall, but the
thickest plug in the back of the actual computer.
Press
the power button on the front of your CPU. Yes, it's ridiculous. It
won't power the computer to life, but it apparently resets something
in the computer's memory while it is inactive.
Wait
10 seconds.
Plug
the power lead back in and press the power switch again.
This
technique has worked for me a few times. Let me know if it works for
you.
