| khoover | hey guys, been having a problem with one of my other laptops; I hit the power button, power light turns on, nothing happens for a good 10 seconds, then the computer reboots - maybe half a second of power-off - stays on for another 10 seconds, and then crashes. | 18:09 |
| khoover | er, shuts down | 18:09 |
| khoover | no bios interface, no boot loader shows; the screen remains fully powered down. | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | khoover, does actually go thru a shutdown or does it just quit | 18:19 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, bad RAM ? .. just speculating | 18:20 |
| khoover | BluesKaj, possibly, but I managed to get it started once, and things looked fine. except for the fact that i still had yet to fix my breaking of sudo. | 18:22 |
| khoover | and it just quits, like, if i yanked the power cord | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | but the screen stays lit , khoover ? | 18:23 |
| khoover | the screen never starts. it's off throughout the process | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | oops sorry | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | misread your post above about the scrn | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | I think it may be the PSU , but failsafe triggers shut the PSU down in case of hardware failure...I had the graphics section die on my mobo , and as soon as I installed anew pci gpu , all was fine ...as an example | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | it's a difficult problem tracking down hardware failure | 18:27 |
