Help !
My PC today seemed to reboot itself for no reason. the second time it never recovered. hanging in the startup.
Tried a safe start but it rebooted trying to start this way. I removed all the peripherals & restarted and it went into windows fine, thought I'd isolated a cause !. added the keyboard & booted again. this time no screen at all. removed the vga cable & screen notices loss of signal, but no text or anything shos from PC. LED at orange as well , not green.
Must have some hardware failure, normally I'd suspect the video card, but for all the preceeding problems.
Any ideas on componant failure ? I'm a novice so please bear with me. Does this sound like any other componant failure.. memory, processor ?
p.s. Left it to cool down in case heat related. (fan works)
Windows XP Home.
