So your computer shows up blank? Heeelp!

Try these things first.

Here is a quick checklist of troubleshooting procedures you should follow
if you encounter this problem .

Try the Power Switch a second or third time. If nothing happens..

Check the wall outlet for power.

Check the power cord itself from wall to computer. http://www.ultimatepcrepair.com/files/outlet.mpg

Check the Power Supply inside the System Unit. http://www.ultimatepcrepair.com/files/powt.mpg

Replace the Power Supply rather than trying to repair it. http://www.ultimatepcrepair.com/files/inspower.mpg

If the system make those click noises,but the screen is blank, check
the Monitor. http://www.ultimatepcrepair.com/files/mont.mpg

If the monitor proves to be good,check the Video Card,even in a new system.
