Computers button just flashes and the computer will not start

Computer on button just flashes continually and the computer will not start.  I unplugged everything and put it back together.  Same thing.  Nothing.  Monitor is on, but nothing on the screen, of course, because the computer does not start at the top.

Hey Bowers

you get a splash screen on startup with an acer for hp dell etc. or the logo of the motherboard

otherwise, it would seem that you have a hardware problem

Contact the manufacturer of the computer or a local reputable computer repair workshop

  • I change my motherboard, I do not change anything else in my computer I have xp professional window, when I power my computer, the computer will not start, it asks me to insert the cd and press ENTER, I don't have the xp cd, help me please.

    install a new motherboard in my computer, I need the recovery cd to start the computer, I have Windows xp?

    Assuming that you are XP is already installed (you do not specify) and the old IDE hard drive, you may need to enable the IDE in the BIOS of the motherboard.  Sometimes on systems more recent IDE is disabled for SATA.  Other than that, I don't know.  Find a friend who has an XP Pro CD.  How is that you have it installed but do not have the CD?  If it was a computer OEM like HP, Dell, etc, then you should contact the manufacturer for a restore CD, but since you have changed the motherboard, it is possible that they won't support you more, unless it is a replacement of the factory.

  • computer will not start with the disc

    I use vista and my computer does not start because of a corrupted file.

    I put my vista disk in such suggested, but the screen does not move any command of keys to press and just goes round in a loop. So I can't the computer to start and fix.

    I changed the bios to boot from the cd as first choice but still no results.

    can anyone help?

    Could it be that the disk driver does not work like the disk isn't loading? Or the disc will not load because the press any key order is not coming?

    I am old enough and not very technically experienced but this computer has served me well and I have a lot of information that I need to go down there if I have to buy another.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have correctly setting the boot order in the BIOS to CD/DVD first, and the computer does not start, your problem has nothing to do with the driver for the CD/DVD drive. Also running in safe mode or SFC can maybe help you.

    The reason that pilots, safe mode and FCS can help you is the same for all three: boot (if from the hard drive or a CD or DVD) takes place before loading Windows. If it boots from a CD or a bootable DVD, the problem has nothing to do with Windows. It's a hardware problem. I don't know what the problem is, but it is possible that the CD/DVD drive is dead.

    What is wrong can but fixable, but whether it is cost-effective to do so is another matter. It depends on what the problem is. If the CD/DVD player, they are inexpensive, so replacement should not be expensive. Fortunately, it's not like there is a problem with the hard drive, so even if you buy a new computer, you must be able to remove the hard drive from the old computer, put it in an external enclosure and to transfer the data to the new computer.

    Let me add another point: you say "I have a lot of information that I need to get off it if I have to buy another." This suggests that you don't regularly back up your data on an external support. If this is the case, you've played with fire. It is always possible that a hard disk crash, the user error, close to love at first sight, virus attack, even stolen computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not a question of whether you will have a problem, but when.
