Happy Thanks-Giving-UP Windows-7 my friends.

flavallee,

Yes, you are correct - Best Buy Elsewhere got me really good $$$!

I have just been helpless since the original Hack back in about April of this year.

NOTHING has worked software wise and now I believe my PC is bricked.

All that it will do is power on and race the fans at high speed.

No Post Codes, nothing.

Any ideas or do you think it's a Brick?

What caused the Bricking appears to be USB Safely Remove Software.

I responded to remove a Composit USB Device and that immediately caused the issue.

I have cobbled together this PC to search for answers or help.

I extensively posted on the Ten Forum as that was where I thought I had gotten my main PC to.

ANY feedback, positive or negative, will be appreciated.

Mike

At this point some tinkering may be needed. If you had a bunch of parts lying around, as geeks do, you could swap out the PSU to see if that helps. Reset the bios. Replace the CPU battery. Part of me want s to say that Best buy would have ruled all that out, but who knows? They're primarily interested in making $ off you.

I hate to direct people to another forum to solve their problem, but in this case, Tom's Hardware could be very helpful. Your question will be read by many thousands of smart people, and responses come quickly. If you've never heard of them, here's the link:

Wish I could be more helpful. But I know the folks there will be.
