    Default Computer problems, help

    I have a Sony PCV-RX850 desktop. I noticed the other day that all the lights on the front of the tower and all the lights on the keyboard were blinking. I tried to turn it off by holding the on/off switch down, but it would not turn off. I then unplugged it. I waited a long while then plugged it back up and the lights immediately started to blink again. So, I unplugged it again.

    My question...does this sound like the mother board? Something that is fixable?

    PS: I know the computer is about ten years old, but I am a card carrying member of TCB.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Only one cure for this bad boy... the scrap heap. It likely costs you more in power to run it for a year than it would to buy a new refurb from Dell (with a coupon of course).

    An 80 GB hard drive provides vast storage capacity, and 512 MB of RAM--expandable to a whopping 1.5 GB--enables multiple applications to run simultaneously without a hiccup.

    I think you can re-purpose it.

    But, I did LOL.
