computer will not boot up

[dlwalters]

using windows xp home, when you turn on the computer it will not finish the
boot and the screen does not even register that it is hooked up to the
computer.
tried the recovery disk and nothing happened. not sure what to do now?

thank you for your response.
I have an emachine model w3107 with windows xp version 2002
when you turn the power on yes you hear a few beebs and the fans come on and
then nothing else. does not load any driver for keyboard or monitor ect.
I just tried to boot from a download from microsoft a (disk boot install)
and it did not read the drive. I am a novice when it come to internal
problems. my degree is with software.
thanks Debbie

Since you have access to another computer (you are posting here) then go to your
computer manufacturers site and see their beep codes. That will tell you the issue
with your computer.


Example Only
Beep Codes: Depending on make and Model it can be anything and any amount . As an
example (short,long,long short) on a Gateway computer will mean defective Hard Drive
