On Sunday, I was doing some maintanance on my XP computer. I removed the case on the CPU to use an air duster and vacuum to clean up some of the dust on my fans and cables. When I put everything back together and turned on the machine, it initially would not boot. I removed the cover and made sure every thing was still connected properly and the fan and processor were a little loose. After securing that, I was able to start my computer, though I was asked if I wanted to start in safe mode. After it started again, the new hardware wizard found all of my peripherals. It worked normally after that for the rest of the day.
Yesterday, however, it would not start up at all. I have power to the HD, fans, etc., and there are lights lit up on the motherboard indicating to me that everthing is getting power, but I get nothing. My monitor remains black. I've tested the video card & monitor, both working perfectly. Thoughts?????
