i bought a Fry's computer and it was workin fine until one day..... normally the light is blue and now it changed to orange and its no longer booting. i reconnected all my wires and tried each stick of ram, i am still able to open my cd drives.

does the machine beep at all when you turn it on.
can you give us some more info
thanks

If your unit is still under warranty, that may be the way to go. If not, like r/fire suggests, please post the specs of your unit so we know what we are dealing with.

2.8 ghz pentium 4
512 mb of ddr memory
80gb maxtor hd
32mb integrated graphix card

doesnt make any beeping noise

however the theres a logo in the front that would light up blue, but now its orange.

i just recently bought this and now its all broken argh..........

i plugged in one stick of ram and it worked fine the first time and then it suddenly crashed and stopped booting again. i dont kno wats the problem i even tried starting it without the hd and ram connnected and nothing showed up. i tried all the ram slots too...............wtf is the problem

Boot with the video card, mouse, keyboard, hard drive, and one stick of memory installed. Disconnect the CD-ROM drive, and remove all other cards from the expansion slots. Remember which slot each comes out of so you can put them back in the same slot.

Make sure all cables are firmly connected to the motherboard. Power on Self Test (POST) should give you one beep on a successful boot. More that one if not successful, and the beep pattern tells you what is failing. No beep may indicate a failed power supply or motherboard. You can pick up a power supply tester for around fifteen dollars.

If you are familiar with using a voltmeter you can check voltages from the power supply. If you do use the voltmeter, check on the internet for the pin-out for an ATX power supply connector. Of particular interest is the voltage on the power supply ready, or some such named pin.

Can you provide the make and model of the motherboard? If this computer is in warranty, I would not do too much tweaking. You don't want to void the warranty.
