Power on, yes. Two beeps, no display, nothing. Never reaches the booting screen, so i can't, say, hit F11, and pull up System Repair. Posted by: CrazyHobo« on: March 12, 2012, 11:21:33 am »not good with this stuff, ya know.
But as far as I can tell, an entire memory wipe and then reinstalling what ever operating system you want, should help out >_> Posted by: BlackRain« on: March 12, 2012, 10:58:46 am »So, I've recently come into possession of an Alienware computer(I didn't buy it, it was a gift), but the only problem is that the previous owner lent it out to someone, and that someone got it virus ****, now it won't even boot properly.
So, does anyone know how to wipe a hard drive without taking it to someone? I'd rather not spend what little money I have. |
