Please fellow nairalanders, help me troubleshoot my system. It does not boot. It only shows on light and goes off in the next 3 seconds. It doesnt show any display on the screen. The processor dont even make any sound at all.

d processor cooling fan is bad.that is why d processor triggers off few seconds after it comes on.

@OP visit a techie to have a look. that's ur best bet right now.
cheers

I really dont wish to start a new trend on this, but i am right at the same point with this poster. I just need to pinch my tent with you as same bedfellow and I need urgent help right now ´cause my lappy(hp, window xp sp3) wont boot again. This started when i inserted a usb stick LG, that carries its on vaccine/antivirus, which constantly request to download vaccine updates everytime and i often refused.

This time around i accepted the download and also asked for the vaccine to scan my c;drive, the result was a trojan virus that need to be repaired or removed.

So i requested for a repair after reboot, with the usb stick still attached and Voila! this put me in trouble as the computer refused to boot to the end, where i will login with my psswrd. I removed the usb device, tried to reboot again after long press to shut down but i got same result.

I tried rebooting in safe mode with networking, but it responded by indicating it was in safe mode but i couldnt see my desktop even on safe mode, i forcefully shut it down by long press again cause i needed to go to work.

I came back from work to discover that it won.t even boot again.
