hi I updated my comp to windows ten and regretted it ever since. it worked for 2 days then everything started to dissapeer, emails, contacts , bookmarks,passwords price lists, invoices and programs I rolled it back to windows 7 and still things keppt dissapeering so last night i decided to nuke it and put 7 back on. I disconnected all other drives but it wouldnt find the hard drive to wipe.so i took off 2 little switches on motherboard 1 power led the other atx sw still couldnt find hard drive so i put it all back together. when u put the power in it lights up for couple of secs thengoes of its allways done that, but when i try to put it on iwth power button nothing happens

What I do when trying to fault find is to remove all the attached devices - hard disks, CD-ROM, etc - just leaving the power cables, buttons, etc. Then, remove RAM too. Now power it up to see if it posts correctly. If it does, it should beep cause no RAM detected. If it does, u know mb and power are all fine - the reattach RAM and try again.
