Why is my cpu light blinking? The computer will not boot.

What are your computer's specifications? Do you hear any beeps from the computer? Do you see any image or message on the computer screen?

No there is nothing but the blinking light--no image or sounds.

What are your computer's specifications?

Also, this is posted under the desktop section, but I want to be certain... this is a desktop, correct?

And finally, are you sure you don't get anything on your monitor like, "Check cable" or "No signal"?

Please make sure your monitor is on, and that the connection between the monitor and the computer is secure.

But MOST IMPORTANTLY!! What are your computer's specifications? If it is pre-built (like a Dell or such) please give us the make and model.

The computer is a desktop "ZT" i.e.. Staples Brand. It beeps when the blinking light comes on only. The screen shows the "NO SIGNAL" sign.

Okay. You forgot the most important part... the make tells us nothing. Equate that with someone telling you that they drive a Ford. Your first thought would be... a Ford what?

We need the model. This is usually printed on the computer. If you are unsure, you should post the specs.


Also, do you have another monitor and/or monitor cable that you can test? Or can you test your monitor and/or monitor cable on another computer?

The computer is a desktop "ZT" ie. Staples Brand. It beeps when the blinking light comes on only. The screen shows the "NO SIGNAL" sign.

How many beeps does it make?

I sent it to a computer shop and got it fixed. Turns out it was the power supply. Thank You
