| try a different mouse or open you bios and change your 'halt on' options. for example "halt on all but keyboard" lets you boot without a keyboard plugged in. you may have an option to "halt on all but keyboard/mouse" |

| My bet would be "damn you whacked it hard" you could have loosened the graphics card or possibly a memory module try to reseat them and try again |
| geek_brian_491 | November 19, 2008, 5:26 pm | #4 |
| Yeah the halt on option is a good idea if all else fails pull the bios battery out leave for 5 mins then try again |

| You must've been pretty angrylol |
| geek_gyrogearloose | November 19, 2008, 5:28 pm | #6 |
| And this is "UGRENT" because of CoD4 and what an important man you are. I'd suggest you should hit it harder, and harder, until you feel that you are the master. |

| Can acomputer stuff up if you slam a mouse down on a mouse pad that may be no where near the computer at all? Even if the mouse breaks, I thought that you could start it, but it wouldn't recognise the mouse.. Or am I mistaken? I'm not taking the piss, i seriously didn't know that a mouse could stop a computer starting lol. |
| geek_brian_491 | November 19, 2008, 5:32 pm | #8 |
| Let me know how you get on and if you need help k |
| geek_ruby2shoes | November 19, 2008, 5:32 pm | #9 |
| Well I did hit it until the busy light came on for a secound :P. Check GPU/CPU/Mobo. I'll try anthor mouse Tomorrow. Thanks. (P.S. The mouse is working) |
| geek_deodar | November 19, 2008, 5:34 pm | #10 |
| I agree,what are you?a goody 2 shoes? Use a hammer next time.Or suspend
the mouse from the clothes line and
rotate it,then throw it in the dryer. |
| geek_0800xford | November 19, 2008, 5:34 pm | #11 |
| rahto - if there was some kind of short in the mouse after smashing it down it could easily stop the machine from starting. |
| geek_cybertao | November 19, 2008, 5:36 pm | #12 |
| So what exactly is not working? The computer turns on, but the monitor doesn't display and switches off? It's probably your graphics card if so. |
| geek_ruby2shoes | November 19, 2008, 5:37 pm | #13 |
| Re 11 Please explain more. |

| Oh ouch, deodar that was funny and painful at exactly the same time. What does CoD stand for again? I used to know once. |

| I'm with the short on the mouse, btw. :) I've fried a couple old PC's (very ancient ones, don't worry) by not checking for frayed/pinched chords. Zap! There goes the circuit board. No idea how protected a board would be from such a mishap these days. |

| Re 17 Call of Duty. I might go on my mums PC and slam the mouse and see if that breaks her PC :P It was like the 5-10th time I've broken the same mouse :O So yeahman CoD4 gets me PO'ed. |

| I'm not sure why some think online fpshooters are relaxing. I find it incredibly frustrating when I put 50 rounds at some bot/joker and he doesn't die,,generally the next move is they pull out a Pistol and with 2 shots kill me..Sometimes I think I must be just useless but in reality it's all about who has the best connection and Telecoms just does not cut it.. |
| geek_julieandcasper | November 19, 2008, 6:23 pm | #26 |
| Thanks, ruby2shoes :) I liked Thief and Far Cry when it came out. I'd like to try Far Cry II eventually when my PC catches up in capability. The war ones all started to look alike though and I don't play games much anymore except casually on the iPod. |

| geek_ruby2shoes | November 20, 2008, 10:50 pm | #32 |
| Well it sometimes works now. It always says 'USB Human Device Found' (Mouse is USB and tested on 1 other PC, works fine on both :S), and sometimes when I turn it on it makes a sound like the fans are going crazy, then turns off a secound later. Sometimes nothing appares on the monitor at all? You think its the MOBO? I'm using a different monitor and it seems to be working fine. But why does it sometimes turn off and on with thoose fans? Thanks |

| The user was PO, so now it's POked and that's an expensive lesson to learn, but lessons can be very valuable. Computers are a tool, and unique in that they can be reprogrammed with new software to perform new functions, whether it be games, entertainment or finance. It's important to look after your tools, ask at any door in town. |
