pc help

my son pulled out his power cord by accident while moving his room now windows7 not coming on starts up like its going to then nothing f8 not working any ideas :wave

 

If desktop, open and check all plug-in connections and your RAM.
Sounds like something has popped loose.

 

I disagree with Harlow if something had come loose most likely it wouldn't turn on at all,it sounds to me as though your registry has become corrupt due to a forced shutdown causing windows not to load.

Can you elaborate on exactly what happens when you say F8 doesn't work,do you reach the windows advanced boot options page and can select the type of windows start or does your F8 key not work?

 

i can get to f2 thats all ststem set up went to hardware monitoring psu going at 12.5v so that seems to be working well i goes as if its booting up then blank screen f8 nothing i think m/ board gone

Are we dealing with a laptop, or desktop?

What make, model, and roughly what age?

Did it hit the floor?

A hard drive can only take so much of a hit, especially if it is spinning at the time...

 

its a desk top pc,s about 5 yrs old got it made for me so its all different bits

cant get on with desk top black screen not booting up all i can get to is f2 f1 cant use f8 not working m/board light on so dont no if thats went or hard drive went or something else un plugged power on m/board and plugged it in again and got a mess saying thermal shut down to over heating so i think m/board problem

 

This is caused by an overheating CPU and if you have moved the computer your cpu fan could have come loose or the cpu heatsink could have come loose,looks like Hrlow was right:wave

See the large fan in the middle of the motherboard that's the cpu fan, check the fan connector to make sure firmly connected to the motherboard,pull it out anyway then push it back in firmly.

The heatsink is the large block of metal underneath it,with your fingertips just gently see if it's firmly attached to the motherboard.

Turn on the computer with the side of the case off,does the cpu fan spin up?

If it does start tapping F2 and enter the bios 'don't let it load windows' now go into the menu and look for a menu similar to 'pc health' now look for a reading labelled 'current cpu temp' and 'current system temp' and post the temperatures.
