Ok so this is an annoying new problem I've never faced before. I accidentally pressed the little moon key on the Dynex keyboard connected to my desktop PC which although normally causes the PC to enter stand-by apparently means "commit suicide"! I saw a message that said the system was entering stand-by and I have as of yet been unable to get the machine to wake from it's slumber... I've completely powered off the system and disconnected the power cord and I've tried the CMOS jumper trick as well. I can't even get a POST screen with no thing plugged in but the Video Card and monitor! I've removed the CMOS battery and will let the system discharge over night so I'll post back in the morning, but any other suggestions would be appreciated! I have never encountered a case of a computer being this difficult to get out of standby, so I'm afraid the problem must run deeper than that. Thanks in advance!
Yes that was the first thing I tried. The computer did not come up after leaving the CMOS battery out overnight either. Any other ideas? Oh and here's my system specs: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Processor @ 2.00Ghz Some kind of Corsair RAM 2X 512Mb sticks Seagate ST3250823AS 250 Gb SATA Hard Drive Maxtor 6L080J4 80 GB IDE Hard Drive Samsung SP0842N 80 Gb IDE Hard Drive ASUS A8N Deluxe SLI Motherboard Nvidia Geforce 6800 GT 256Mb
