My PC won't start either! I was trying to fit/install a new USB2 + 1394 firewire card and everytime Windows XP started and found new hardware, my PC stopped responding everytime it got to searching for drivers......
I couldn't even use alt+ctrl+del to stop the process or restart my PC, so I had no option but to force it to shut down by pressing the Power button until it went off.
I then removed the USB2+firewire card from the PCI slot and tried to start my PC. But the power button is not working at all!
Have I killed my PC completely? One member suggested pulling all the cables except ? (can't remember right now but I'll look back if necessary). I don't quite know what he meant by pulling all thr cables? What cables? Where? How? How do I pull the cable for my sound card? Or should I remove that from the PCI slot completely?
Another member suggested replacing the power switch. But how do I do that, if that is the problem?
I'm so upset that I might have caused a serious problem with my PC, that I doubt if I'll be able to sleep until such time as I can get it fixed. And as I haven't the money to call out an engineer, I'm hoping that someone might guide me through whatever steps I need to take? PLEASE HELP?
