| Thanks for coming 1stly, Guys. Well, My HP s3714uk PC started to give me no response after I pressed power button. The power light blinked in yellow less than 1 sec and then went off no matter how many times you pressed. Then it randomly turned on by itself suddenly, but it would be shut down suddenly as how it turned up... it became a time bomb in my heart.... later on, I thought I discovered something in my old house since my cacuum cleaner was burnt when it was plugged in the socket, whicn was used by my PC as well. hence, I tried to unplug and then plug in another socket when my PC gave me no response again. and it indeed could be able to power on in a higher chance than in before. But still could be shut down suddenly when i was using it. afterwards, I moved to my current address where the electricity circuit is good definitely. and my PC looked as if became normal. but i was wrong because i only turned off the PC but not the socket after use. and if you turned off the socket, then next time when you wanna turn on PC, it started to give no response as if it was not fit with the new "voltage" but it's a little bit better than in before as it would not be shut down suddenly when i used it at least. so, any mate could tell me what this problem of my PC is. and how could i fix it? and do you think there is any damage on hareware components? (in fact, i runed the pre-installed hardware diagnostics tool and it said "no") many thanks for reading. good luck to everyone, i am considering about buying a UPS in future, is there any cheaper one? or good brands could be recommend. to be expert! |

| Contacted with US HP online support. they recommended me to reseat the cable from power supply in pc tower to motherboard and from motherboard to cable.... and said if the power light still does not glow fine, the problem should be on the motherboard....due to there are lots of minicircuits on it. i am not an expert.... maybe he is right. don you guys also think the burning of my cleaner a totally different thing? my PC works fine now in my new house just with booting problem sometimes... maybe i should wait until monday to contact with UK online support.......... |

| I appear to have the same problem. I am a new member and have not as yet found out how to post this on this site. Help. My problem follows: Power Problem: The power light (Centre of start button) is steady Amber.¬ Manual says: “A device might be malfunctioning or incorrectly installed.Remove and then reinstall the memory modules Remove and then reinstall any cards Remove and then reinstall the graphics card, if applicable.When the light is steady amber the computer is completely dead, on occasions it returns to life after carrying out, a) above. Sometimes a) does not work and I go for a) and b). This also brings it back to life. As far as I’m aware there is not a graphic card installed.Any body throw some light on this anomaly. I have a sound card installed. Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS. Could this be the problem? |
