sounds like a knackered PSU then if its actually the power and not it booting up but oh wellDrop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -

No idea what type of machine it is!!! I inherited it from an ex, I know it has had a lot of bits changed etc, but nothing on the outside of the case says what sort of computer it is!!Sorting my life out to give a better life to my:heartsmil 2 gorgeous boys :heartsmil0

The light on the power button comes on and it makes 2 beebs, but nothing happens, tbh it's so old and has so much old crap on it from my ex (who also partitioned the hard drive, whatever that means!!) I'd quite like to get a new one and start again. He used to download a lot of stuff, which is why it is so clogged up as well. I've just had a thought tho, I hope the new computer has windows loaded onto it, otherwise not sure what I will do!!Sorting my life out to give a better life to my:heartsmil 2 gorgeous boys :heartsmil0

Tell him not what you expected -either he will add it from his library or just reject it."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Have just checked his email and it says it is an XP machine, so I'm assuming it has XP loaded onto it!Sorting my life out to give a better life to my:heartsmil 2 gorgeous boys :heartsmil0
