Ya know, I don't know. I was asking on behalf of my little Sister. I sent her to Amazon.
Meanwhile, my desktop, has decided not to fire up. two year old dual amd processor HP. Push the button and the fans run at double speed. The little light that shows activity, doesn't come on. Am I looking at a new one?

Yep, first thing I did was open it up and blow it out, still has a black screen. Keyboard leds don't light either. I did have it start to boot once.

Could be a blown Processor or memory (some earlier AMD X2 ran hot and would smoke on a poor or dead CPU fan - see if that is turning) but more likely a Power Supply problem. Part of the PS working and part not... |
