    We recently moved and when I hooked up my computer it won't come on The fans come on full speed and the computer won't boot up or anything the fans just stay on full speed. the hard drive is fine I took it out and tried it in another computer. What now?

    This may sound silly but is there a disk in the disk drive or a cd in the cdrom tray?

    Also did you know you share the same name as the Director/Actor Kevin Smith

    During the move some components may become unseated. Most common would be the video card, or the memory chips. First thing to try, (with the power removed from the computer of course) is open the case and make sure all the cards are firmly seated. Then apply power again and turn it on. That may solve it for you...if not, let us know here.

    I agree with appcomm. I would pull out the video card and reseat it, and do the same with the memory. Did you hear any beeps from the PC?
