My computer seems dead Help me

[Ph33zy]

i have a problem with my computer. It does not send a signal to my mouse and video card and keyboard. I also cant turn off my computer w/ the power switch or reset button. I can only turn it off when i pull the plug. When i plug back the power switch, my computer just turns on to a black screen. The bios screen doesnt even come up and the only way i can turn it off is by pulling the plug again. I tried unpluggin my harddrive and even the motherboard batteries but it still does the same thing, so that means i cant format either. I think i might have pushed the sleep button before all this happenned. Has anyone ever heard of this problem. My mother board is an Iwill VD133. Please help..

Hmmm.. it might be that your motherboard is toast

Sounds like this could be the case.

But I would first try to see if you can get an error code from the bios in the form of a beep. I would start by removing everything but the ram. You should get 8 short and fast beeps (no video error).

If you don't get any beeps then I would try removing the ram and you should get a beep about every second (no ram error).
If neither of these work then I would say that you have a dead mother board.

You could have short somewhere as well. Take everything out of the case, including the motherboard . Hook up powersuply, video card, keyboard and floppy (nothing else) and see if it will boot for you.

The &quot;reset&quot; button should work regardless of the defective CPU/motherboard. It cuts off the power signal when you push it in.

Also, you need to hold the &quot;Power&quot; button down for 4 seconds in order for the &quot;soft off&quot; switch to work (on ATX cases).
