Heres a good one, one ive never seen before in my many days of pcs dying.
At first the PC lost the harddrive. After booting without the harddrive, and then booting again with it, the PC finds it first time and it all works! WOOT!
Until the Pc is restarted... then, it wont even output to the moniter. The Pc is definetly on, but you dont even hear the "beep" as the pc posts.
Taking the pc to a techies house, he simple removed everything and booted it up, then put everything back and everything is fine again!
UNTIL ITS RESTARTED.
Where now back to square 1. The Pc again wont output to the moniter, and ive tried removing everything, replacing everything restetting the bios, using different card slots and ide channels, and I cant get the bugger to output anything.
Any advice? I know i havnt done something utterly stupid, as the Pc i fixed up from ebay costing £3.23 is working perfectly.
*edit* just thought id say that the pc cant be restarted in this state using the restart button, and can only be shutdown by the holding the power button for 5 seconds method.
