Make sure your connections are good with your monitor to onboard or video card first, if it persists boot in safe mode and see if it does the same. It's usually a corrupt driver particularly on dells.

where you stored the nude selfies? can they be recovered? There's a website you can use as backup storage.

open up the computer and reseat the video card.
while you in there do the same with the ram

if you motherboard have a vga slot try connecting your monitor there and try rebooting the computer again.

Once had a PC that power on and and kept shutting off. It was the power button doh. When press, it was left stuck and kept shutting down the the PC, as if you held the power butting down to manually turn off. I just switch the power button with the reset button.

Make a little video when u power on, of the screen and internals.

Spitfir3 · Postby **Spitfir3** » June 23rd, 2016, 10:23 pm

sounds like the onboard graphics acting up but im just assuming that

1.disconnect the harddrive then power on the system if you get absolutely nothing on the screen then that pretty much rules out any OS related issues

2.remove the CMOS battery wait a couple minutes then put it back in that should reset the bios

if that doesn't work and reseating the ram doesn't help then chances are its either the motherboard or ram

how long did you have the system for?

Try the cmos reset spitfire recommended, that'll reset the bios if you can't get through with safemode.

the cmos battery is the little watch battery on the mother board
unplug your computer remove the battery . press the power button a couple times
replace the battery and then the power cord.

looking like you have an issue with the mother board (since u said you dont have an external graphic card .
are any of the capacitors on the mother board looking swollen or have white stuff coming out of them .

this sounds like faulty ram, reseating works sometimes not all.
Firstly the cmos battery is a silver battery on the board that looks like a big watch battery, remove power cord, remove battery and reseat after 10-15mins.
This doesnt sound like your problem. When you turn the pc on is there any sound/beep?
Pc usually passes a POST(power on self test) before every start, the beeps indicate the problem with the pc that wont start.
If you have no sound more than likely there is no internal speaker.
Do you see any writing flashing on the screen?( This happens fast and is usually the manufacturer logo and the entry into the bios)

If pc is turned on, you get power to cpu fan and power supply fan but no post or video then RAM sticks are faulty, this is your first thing to replace before proceeding to other periphals attached to the MB.

No beeps only a month signal on the screen and everything is getting power. I did the CMOS thing and well no luck so I took it to wizz this morning. Thanks for the help.

Was having a similar problem with a Dell XPS Windows 7 64-bit not too long ago after a routine dust blowout.

Had to reseat the video card, and place the memory stick in proper order (1 pair of 1GB, 1 pair of 4). After rebooting it in safe mode, it works like a charm ever since (knocks wood). Before that, i used to get frequent blue screens before ending up in a similar position like you, OP.

First... Check to see if your power cord or anything else is shorting... Then go behind your case where the power supply is and see if its set to 115v/220v (it suppose to be switched to 115v)

^Like this...

Now that you checked and everything seems to be ok do the following...

Open your case and get your hands on a can of this... (Pricesmart has)...

Disconnect your RAM, hard drive, video card, graphics card etc... Spray away as much dust as possible from inside the CPU and all the parts you disconnected as well... (especially the graphics card and the fans)...

After spraying clean re connect everything in place and close up your case...

After you do that boot your pc in safe mode (turn on pc and before the boot screen logo keep pressing F8 multiple times till you see safe mode and hit enter)...

Do a virus scan and a disk cleanup (Start>All Programs> Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleanup)...

Reboot in normal mode and install Tech PowerUp GPU-Z 0.8.9 and make sure everything is coming up (it will tell you everything)...

You should be ok now... If the problem continues it might be hardware failure or possibly corrupted windows files... What you can do from there is install a fresh copy of windows...
