HI, my son's machine was working fine, he turned it on (connected to an APC Surge protector)- started to boot - received message "CHECK POWER SETTINGS".
Went to the CMOS to check settings - cursor would not move so he hit the switch on the surge surpressor to shut the system off.
When I try to start the system again I only see the green light on the motherboard - no sounds, no led lights working on the case cover.
I had a different PS, so I installed the power cable from the other PS - no change.
I have a different case cover (testing Power switch on cover) connected new switch to motherboard - no change.
Trying to figure out what componet or componets are gone - any ideas on how we can narrow down which items are bad?
Could this be a bios problem?
All help would be appreciated ASAP - my son has to get back to college next week.
Thanks
