Last night I was back from the store ready to test a new game, I pulled out my game, pressed the DVD eject button, waited, and then nothing happened. I then tried to eject again, nothing happened. I then tried to eject my CD drive, same problem. I thought to myself that this was just going to be an easy fix. I unplugged my cables from both drives, blew them off, and then placed them back.
As I rebooted my computer, I noticed that the start-up process stayed on my bios screen for a little longer than usual. The process continued onto the windows loading screen, my computer was stuck on the windows starting screen. I tried re-wiring some cables and powered up my computer again, same thing kept happening. I thought it could have been my hard drive that I had just bought, so i unhooked it to make sure everything was ok. Nothing seemed wrong with it.
I once again powerd up my computer, but this time I was greeted with the cmos checksum error. I did a little research and found out that my mother board battery may have gone out. I purchased a new one, but when I powered up my computer again I had now luck, and was greeted with the mos checksum error.
I then decided to take my computer apart, and airdust it off. I then put it back together, and now my monitor will not recognize my video card. I tried another video card, still the same problem.
IN A NUTSHELL
Disc drives failed
Re-wired disc-drives
Cmos checksum error
Replace Mother board battery
Cmos checksum error again
Re-Wire/airdust computer
No Video card recogniztion
ALSO- I replaced harddrive with another, and still had the same problem.
My conclusion: My mother board is broken, but that is just a guess
I can usually fix most of my computer problems myself, but I'm stuck. I feel so mentally beat up.
