    Hard Drive Crashed??
    How do you know if your hard drive crashed? What does it do or not do?

    Why do I get "No Signal" on my monitor in French or Spanish?
    (Monitor works with another computer)

    Why will my power button work to turn on the computer, but won't turn it off?

    Many questions... no answers!

    1. You will get a message that varies depending on your bios. Something like "Error reading Drive C:", or your computer will fail to boot with a message similar to "hard drive or device not found "

    2. Probably related to your previous question. Could be a few different things. Search this website for 'monitor no signal', lots of threads about that.

    3. Hold the power button in for about 9 seconds.

    1. Thanks! It must not be my hard drive.

    2. I read through a lot of them and I know it is not my monitor. I just don't know what inside my computer it would be, my mother board? My video card?

    3. Thanks! I'll try that!
