I wanted to re-install windows XP with clean install but when I shut computer down it would not restart.ĭo you think the issue is with the power/ rest buttons (or wires) or with MB pins for power wires? The MB is getting power (light on). This worked and computer started and windows loaded. I checked PSU ok with paperclip jumper.Īfter looking on here I saw the suggestion about installing the reset wires to the power pins on the MB. After plugging in all USB plugs everything would work but the printer.Īfter shutting down computer and restarting it would not power up. This allowed the computer to start up and load windows (XP). It would hang up and not load windows.Īfter researching online I unplugged all USB plugs except mouse & key board. Upon restarting the computer it would power up but windows would not start up. When I plugged everything back in the computer would not power up.Īfter numerous tries I left it alone for a few hours. I unplugged my tower to clean behind it and straighten out the wires.
It has been almost 4 yrs since I built my computer so please bear with me as I have not been up on the newest trends.
