    My computer does not boot
    :confused:When I turn on Compaq Evo on, the green power light turns on but the hdd light does not. I therefore can't boot my computer. I tried removing the ram, the computer beeped continuously, I put the ram in again, but still computer does not boot. What is wrong? How do I solve this problem?
