Computer Prob

[Guest]

Let me start by saying that I have many people sharing this same computer. When I power it up it will not even go to the post screen. It just says override in a blue box in the center of screen. When I try to reset it starts to beep. Anyone wanna help me out?

It would probably help to know what kind of computer this is....specs and OS? (It's never good to have many users on one PC, sometimes demented people play with powerful toys and - poooof)

It's worth checking your connections at the back of the box. It's possible one of the other users accidentally unplugged the mouse/keyboard and plugged them back into the wrong sockets - I would be amazed if this was the case as you'd need to be colour blind to do this!!!

The "over ride" box in the center of the screen - is it anything like what you'd get if you powered on the monitor and not the base unit?

And the beeping - if the keyboard is plugged in correctly turn it upside down and shake it senseless - you'll be amazed what might fall out - paper clips etc....

If none of these steps help, tell us if the configuration has recently changed - has any of the other users changed the configuration without you knowing? It's also worth having a password on your BIOS to stop other messing around with it.

Good luck.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I accidentally blow your head off.......again?
