I recently got a new computer, a NEC i-Select D5410. A few days ago it started to randomly crash, and all inputs and outputs were cut. The monitor displayed "No Signal", the keyboard and mouse stopped working and the speakers cut out, yet the power light remained on, and the fans were still spinning. Opening the DVD and CD drive still worked, so it isn't a power or mobo failure, as far as I am aware.

In an attempt to remedy the problem I have moved the computer into a more open area to try and improve air flow, as I belive the problem is overheating or lack of air circulation.

I was just wondering if anyone on Trap17 has ay other ideas on what is causing the problem or how to fix it.

Thank you in advance.

I think it has a lot of spyware. There should be programs just popping out saying that you could fix the spyware by downloading it, DONT DOWNLOAD IT! That IS the spyware. Go to this legal site, and download this great spyware deleter! Download the first ones. Hope you fix your computer soon.

sounds like a virus, or a really weird problem in the motherboard. Did you actually check to see if the wires were cut or not (sorry, but I'm not kidding, that happened to me once- my freind got mad and unplugged everything while I was in the bathroom one day )
I don't know, that dosen't sound good. Take it to your local computer store, they should know what to do.

OK, there is no spyware or viruses. I have checked with Norton and AdAware and all that, I'm clean.
All the cables are in correctly, both inside and outisde the case.

Some more information if you need it:
Windows XP Home SP2
ATI Radeon X600 Graphics
1GB RAM
AMD 3700+ Processor

Can get the rest of the specs if you need them.

Well there might be several reasons for this! First of all you should scan your computer with antivirus software and adware or similar program to detec spyware on your computer! Then if that won't help I suggest you to format the drive on which you have windows installed - backup all the important files first!!

When you format your computer all software-driven problems will be gone and this way you'll find out if there is software that causes your system to work like *BLEEP* and crash! If that won't help then the only thing i can suggest to you is that you take it back to where you bought it and request help there, beacuse there is something wrong with the hardware or the setup of it...

i hope it helps...greetz

your registry might me messed up. go download a trial registry mechanic, just google it and you'll probably find it.

I personally believe your problem also has something to do with overheating. No signal usually means that there is no signal being receieved from the gfx card or onboard video. Worst case scenario you might have burnt out the video portion on your mobo. Other things I can think of are, maybe your monitor stopped functioning. Have you tried to use your pc with another monitor? I like to give people the benefit of the doubt so I wont ask you if you spilled any drinks on your monitor or anything. LOL. (did you?) Hey, if you "recently" got the computer then call up NEC. Thats what warranties are for.

you should check for defected hardwares. And check your jumper setting on your drives. and if the computer is dirty, clean it. That will increase the air flow and more heat could escape.

I'm pretty doubtful that something like that would be a virus, especially after you said that you scanned it with Norton and AdAware. however, you may want to check that Norton is using a recent Virus Definition file just to be sure (make sure Norton is fully updated to the most recent version).

It could have something to do with BIOS settings, for instance, it's been overclocked badly or is configured incorrectly. I suggest you access your BIOS and take a look around in there. but if you are going to do this, make sure you know what you are doing and are constantly cross-checking with the motherboard's manual to make sure you're fixing it and not making the problem worse.

Also you could try running MSConfig (Start->Run->MSConfig) and disable all the stuff under 'services' and 'startup' that you know for a fact you don't need. after all, the problem could be something as simple as a service conflict - that's what was happening on my computer, and my Dad just started disabling startup options and services. the problem rectified itself virtually immediately.

But, on the other hand, overheating could definately be the problem. install another fan maybe.

Ok hope something out of that helps.

good luck
