Desktop won't start and has no blue lights

My pavilion elite desktop has had a high pitch noise since I bought it. I read that the video card could cause that so I got a new video card but it made the same sound. I tracked the sound down to the psu. I returned the video card and got a new psu. The noise is got but the machine doesn't boot up now. All fans come on but no front panel lights no keyboard lights no monitor output. Tried putting the old psu back in. The noise was back but still no boot. I tried removing each piece of hardware till all I had was memory and hd left and still no lights. I swapped memory locations, sata cables, tried the card reader trick. Nothing seems to work. Could a blown led for the front panel cause it to not boot? That's the only connector I have left since I need it to power on.<br><br>Thanks for any ideas.

    Has this ever been resolved?  It looks like it's 5 months old and I don't see any replies.  I saw this and immediately thought of the DEP(Data Execution Protection) feature that is a characteristic of Windows Vista.  If you go to your control panel,to system, to advanced system settings, and then click the settings button in the performance section, the DEP is the third thumnail to the right(should be the last one there).  This is where you can turn it on or off and add programs for it to ignore.
    However, usually when it's the DEP that kills a program unexpectedly, the operating system has usually made it known to the user that it was the DEP.

  • Shockwave "won't respond" and "has crashed" in  Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, can't use it anywhere

    Shockwave "won't respond" and "has crashed" in  Google Chrome, IE, Firefox, can't use it anywhere. I already tried completely removing every file it has, reinstalling it, and I went through the process of reinstalling Adobe Flash a couple of times. I'm using a PC. This has been going on for 3 days, it hasn't worked even once. It all seemed to have started right after I updated Google chrome, but Shockwave won't work on any browser, so I'm not sure if that's the case. Please help!

    Please (search first, then) ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

  • My desktop won't start

    I have a treo 680 unlocked and installed missing synch software on my new macbook pro leopard.  I started using the sync function and was getting used to the weird looking (compared to desktop on windows) desktop presentation when I noticed that I wass getting all kinds of duplication and even triplication on my syncs.  I ttied to solve that problem with help from missing sync but to no avail. I decide to try and start over. 
    So I uninstalled missing sync andI went back to my PC and cleaned up my handheld with my PC desktop.  I couldn't uninstall desktop for mac so I reinstalled missing sync and did a hot sync.  I then noticed I would have the same problem as i got a notice from missing sync that I had more than 5% sync to do.  I wondered how that could be because this was supposed to be a new sync with no info on my desk top. I stopped the hot sync function and tried to see what was going on by opening my desktop.  I tried it several times. I tried downloading mac desktop again and re-installing it.  That didn't work, I kept getting the message that I had the most recent version on my mac and that I couldn't re-install.  
    So that brings me to my original subject statement.  
    My desktop won't start so that I can clean everything ou and do a start over sync.  Please someone help!!!

    I have removed the ecp site from default site and attempting to rerun SP1 now. I do not have high hopes. :(

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    From the error description, you need to manually remove the ECP with IIS manager in both the Default Web Site and the Exchange Back End firstly. And then continue the upgrade to check the result.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.

  • How can I buy more iCloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed

    How can I buy more icloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed.  I cannot press settings or close and cannot even turn off?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

  • Cs3 won't start and hand on "reading preferences"

    Hello
    All of a sudden my photoshop won't start and hang on the splash screen " the last message is "reading preferences"
    I Run WINXP service pack2.
    Photoshop version is 10.0.1
    I rebooted did everything (without re-installing)
    Is there a way to get out of this ?
    Bruno

    You could try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • There's an "updated.app" laying in Firefox package. Since firefox won't start and "updated.app" will, is it safe to replace firefox package with it?

    After last update to last version, FF was running fine before a hardware restart.
    Since then it won't start and profile manager either. No error message pops up and console window doesn't trace any event.
    firefox package contents an "updated" package likely created by last update.
    Will i loose my settings or run into any kind of problem by replacing firefox's package with the so called "updated" one?

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
