There's not much we can suggest without seeing them ourselves, to be perfectly honest.
The most you can do is keep at it, and I mean that; because it takes something to break before you can learn how to fix it. Even if in the end you cannot fix it, you may still learn from it. As frustrating and painful a process it may be, that is what my experience has been.
I am only so efficient at routing out viruses from having had them in the first place. The same applies in other areas of computer malfunction.
Oh I know don't get me wrong I am all for figuring things out and learning and I understand I didn't post a lot of information to start with I was just really really frustrated and tired when I made that post which sadly hasn't changed much still yet and wont until i get feeling better
let me try and supply you with more info off the top of my head seeing as I am not at home.
the first laptop I know it is dead it is a HP pavilion dv6000 series and on boot has 1 long beep and three short beeps ( letting me know my graphics card is dead and it is inter-graded so mobo is now dead ) the HDD in it has a hook up that I have never seen before as it oddly hooks into pins mounted on the mobo or some craziness so I have been trying to find out if there was just away for my to gain access to the HDD to get some data and unreplacable pics of family.
the second laptop is a dell inspiron 8200 ( I think) and it had an issue that it would boot 0.5 second blue screen and reboot and continue this process until powered off. I killed the OS partition to do a fresh install ( nothing of value was stored on the laptop thankfully) and my dell installation disc decided to start throwing random errors at me
mainly it has to do with several files not being able to be copied I continued the installation without files and it booted up, at this point I thought I would be good on getting replacement files and such but a log-in box appeared ( it than dawned on me it didn't ask me to set up users) and it was listed as Administrator i tried every password i could think of Admin, Administrator, password left it blank and nothing and I tried variations of those words as well so I'm sitting on that one atm just trying to get it up and running its mainly only used for web browsing anyways.
the last is the desk top I have been using it is a Compaq I have no idea on the model as it is not mine.
worked fine up until this morning I hit the power button and get one long beep a pause and the same long beep a pause and so on and so forth.
I once got it to display a error message stating that the CPU fan had failed and it was powering off and it did so I unhooked the CPU fan unplugged it pulled it out cleaned it with air and such re-spliced a already spliced section of its wiring ( don't ask as I have no clue why) and re-installed it
I left the case off hit the power button same beep but!!!!! the CPU fan ran the whole time? ( is it not suppose to stop spinning if its failed?) but I noticed the PSU fan just kinda sitting there wanting to spin but not being able to. so I thought maybe it was that pulled it cleaned it no idea if it is or not and googling the beep code ( if that was what it even is) turned up no results with PSU or CPU
that is all the farther I got before I had to come to work ( which is where I am now) if it is the PSU is there anything I need to know about replacement besides that its a AMD MoBo and the old PSU is a 350wat. and I think the connecting pin to the mobo is only a 4pin connection though I could be wrong trying to picture it in my head.
