Re: now my computer wont even turn on anymore

Is the power supply plugged in and turned on? Did you install any hardware just before it stopped working?

Re: now my computer wont even turn on anymore

Most common problem with this is that a new peice of hardware was put it without the newest drivers, try unhooking anything you just put in and starting it in safe mode.

Thread moved to Hardware forum since it is not directly a Battlefield 2 problem.

If your computer wont turn on then there is something wrong with the hardware and it's got nothing to do with BF2. It can be several things that causes this but usually you will hear beeps from the PC speaker. If it's your power supply then there should be no lights or fans starting. Either way you probably need someone with experience to look it over.

Yah, if the fans spin, then it isn't your PSU. In which case technically your computer won't boot, but will turn on.

If this is the case, then you need to remove any new hardware you recently isntalled.

Like these guys said, check if you have lights/fans/HDD noise etc. If you have nothing, complete deadness when you press the button, and the PSU is plugged in and switched on at the back and at the wall, then I'd check the ATX connector and the P4 connector if applicable. If the ATX connector (big 24 pin one) isnt plugged in to the motherboard properly you'll get nothing.

If all of that is in order, i'd suggest you need a new PSU.

If you do get fans etc but the monitor stays blank, check out your graphics card.

If your PC cant load the OS and is failing the POST, is your PC beeping at you? If so, tell us what motherboard you have and what the pattern of the beeps is.

Re: now my computer wont even turn on anymore

My PC had two start failures with working hardware, it turned out to be the Bios Battery both times...

Re: now my computer wont even turn on anymore

I had that when I was putting together a system for my mother, it refused to power on or anything, as a last resort I replaced the CMOS battery with a spare I had and on it came.

Re: now my computer wont even turn on anymore

Re: now my computer wont even turn on anymore

I remember when i built a system and it wouldnt turn on, tried for ages trying to figure out what was wrong, like removing hardware, reinserting trying different psu's etc. Turned out the power button wasnt clicking all the way in lol :p so wouldnt turn on, glad found out because nearly sent all the parts back
