Hey everyone - new to the forum... it’s actually run by an old friend of mine so I thought I’d sign up and see what this is all about... also to offer any help you may need with your windows based pc’s

I see there is already 1 member offering this service but I’ve learned early on that you can NEVER have too much help. Just a little background. I’ve been working in the IT field for over 12 years doing everything from basic pc and laptop builds to image distribution, traiing, servers, networking, cabling, wireless etc... you name it, I’ve probably done it. The only thing I don’t do is coding.... you’d have to send that back to Doug.

that’s it..

Hey Mark,

Welcome to the site. Thanks for joining and helping members with computer issues. I’m not a Windows person like Mark is, anything past 98SE I am no good for. I thought I remembered you doing some coding back in the late 90’s.

Anyway...I think we should put Mark in the hot seat and test his knowledge.

The scenario:
Just bought a new computer, it won’t start at all. You open the box up and see the CPU and fan is in place correctly and the RAM is in tight. Before you tear apart the computer what is one of the next thing (or things) that should be checked next.

I don’t quiz everybody, but I always liked busting Mark’s chops.

Thanks
Doug

I was giving Mark a chance to answer, but yeah...Power Supply...check the setting on the back of the power supply to make sure the voltage is set for your country. Me and Mark both missed that on the same computer. I have even seen professionals miss this.

Good Job with the scenario.

Hehe I think it’s obvious that you should check the voltage switch on the back, if everything seem correctly install and no power up.
