G'day Alias,
desktop

BTW that's XP (cringe)
Is it possible to check the power supply?

Cheers

Sure, pull out the old one and put in a new one and see if that fixes it. I suspect that XP doesn't have anything to do with it.

Turned on our sons computer this evening,
the fan is heard, the yellow light for disk is on,
screen is black, and nothing is responsive.

If we press the on/off button it will not shut
down and we have to turn off at the wall.

The dvd drive will eject, that is all that works.

Where does one begin to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.



Laptop or Desktop? If Desktop, it could well be the power supply.
