Hi All,
Greets,
First of all we should try Hard Reset/Power Reset on the PC. That can bring the PC back to a normal start/normal mode start.
Hard Reset should not be mixed with Factory Reset or PC Reset!
Here it tells how to do it on a laptop with removable battery : What is a Hard Reset?
Hard Reset is a little different for a desktop depending on power supply type/options. But if one understand the concept, he can easily perform it on a desktop as well.
The objective is to shut down the system completely, deny any type of power supply and/or power backup & drain any type of residual power in any basic component of the system to give it an all fresh start.
So,
1. Eject & remove/unplug all the external media & devices ( CD/DVDs, external CD/DVD drives, Pen drives, USB devices, External Audio devices, other external devices, etc. )
2. Shut down the system completely.
3. Put the main supply button off & take the male plug out of the supply. ( If you are using any power backup, UPS, Battery,etc. switch them off & take the male plug out.)
4. Now continuously press the power button, leaving/loosing it after every 5-10 seconds, for about 1:30 minutes.
5. Put the batteries back, male plug back in the supply sockets & switch on the supply & normally start the PC.
Report how it goes.
Thanks & Regards. ...
