Windows 7 will not boot - not even to BIOS
Having to do this post using an old iPad
Went to boot my desktop today and nothing......no boot, no BIOS. Power is on and all fans are running. HDD can be heard spinning for a few seconds, then stops. Cannot boot from Win7 rescue disk, drive spins and then stops. Screen is dead (like no signal) and I cannot enter BIOS.
Machine has been running perfectly for several years. If I could even get as far as BIOS I could figure things out (maybe!)
Could this be caused by a dead CMOS battery?
Any other ideas will be very welcome and gratefully acknowledged.
