yes. so this morning after a looong and annoying call with comcasts tech support (hah, no help, what else is new..) i found myself with a problem. my brothers computer, self-built with windows vista, doesnt seem to be...appearing? im not sure how to describe it haha. i pressed the power button so yknow, i could turn it off, but the lights in his computer flashed like 5 times and then his monitor wouldnt display anything like normal and the lights in his keyboard/mouse arent working either. its like its in sleep mode but its not kinda sorta.

please help me fix this so i dont get my *** kicked by my older brother? :D

  1. When those lights "flash like 5 times" that's a code that needs to be looked up on the motherboards manufactures website. That will tell you whats wrong - cross your fingers - you probably can't fix it on your own. Most likely - hardware failure.


  2. Im not sure how to solve this you didnt describe the problem that well but try this.

    go to the back of the computer

    look for the large box that has a switch on it and there is a large fat cable that connects to it

    flip the switch off then on again.

    see if that works.

    or because its a built computer check this open the computer side and look for a small square called the cpu and see if he put a fan over it. he could have burned the CPU. In which case it wouldnt be your fault it would be his. leave it the way it is a tell him what an idiot he is
