    Hey. Recently a computer in my house(and network) running Windows XP SP2 crashed, and since then nothing at all has worked in the are that it crashed at. I.e.
    I've tried hooking up a different PC to the spot where the original was and it either doesn't turn on or turns on but shows nothing and it seems like the monitor doesn't connect to it. I've also tried hooking up the original PC to a different spot in the house but it will not turn on period, no matter what I try.
    I cleaned it once every 2 weeks and shut it off once a week.
    So the situation is: PC that crashed won't work anywhere, and no other normally working PCs work with the same monitor as the PC that crashed.
    Here are it's specs: 1024mb of DDR400 RAM
    AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU.
    nVidia 6600GT AGP video card.
    ASUS A8V motherboard.

    I'll provide anymore information that anyone needs. Thanks for whatever help you can give.

    If you turn on that pc, does it make any sound (like fans spinning)? If not, then I think it has something to do with the power in your house. Go to a room and turn on the light. Now plug in your PC in that same room. Do the lights go out? If yes, then you'll need a power fuse with a higher capacity. It doesn't have anything to do with the power supply of that pc, because you said that other PCs have the same problem.

    check fuses (in both system & monitor) & also check the power outlet with something
