Hi All
I am unable to boot pc on start up. This pc has not been used or connected for around 3months, when last used was working perfectly. Everything starts as normal but will not boot.
Is there somrthing I can do or overlooked or could this mean a new motherboard
Thanks

What is the computer doing after it is turned on from a cold start? Does
it POST? If so, then what next? Any messages show up on the screen? How
far into the Windows start up does it get? From Windows XP Logo to logon,
if it got this far?

Right now, the problem be anything, from a dead CMOS battery to a failed
hard drive.
