Hi,
I wasn't really sure where to put this, but here'll do.
Earlier, I was using my Home PC, a HP computer and it was working fine until I shut it down and turned it back on about 10 minutes later.
It went straight into power saving mode, and there is no way to get out of it. The mouse and te keyboard don't work and the screen is black.
I don't know what to do or what the problem is, Does anyone know anything that could help me?
Reminds me of 7 or 10 years ago, when there were both PCI and AGP videocards. If you were using one mode that wasn't the default one, sometimes, for no obvious reason, the computer would try to start on the default one, thus leaving you with no displayed picture.
Once you had gotten what was going on, you just had to bend over to plug the monitor on the other output, go to the BIOS, change from Default to AGP/PCI/whatever, shut it down, plug your screen to where it originally belonged and it worked again.
If that's too much for you, or is not linked to that, provided you don't have a sticker that'd make the warranty void if removed, just open your computer, head to the motherboard, remove the BIOS battery, try to start the computer, shut it down, put back the battery into place, and that should do the trick. You'll have to reset anything you may have previously set in your BIOS though.
No, its not really my problem. It starts up, but I can't do anything. It doesn't register that the mouse and keyboard are plugged in, the lights on both of those don't light up.
Unfortunately, my computer has a warranty sticker
Otherwise i'd do that.
