Please excuse my ignorance as I am a complete numpty when it comes to computers, my expertise lies in the automotive dept. I have resolved problem with my computer on several occassions with the help of the boffins that spend their time in cyber land and been very appreciative of the help received. The problem I have this time is very simple to discribe, when I turn my DELL Dimension 3100c (I know it's an old lump so no comments on this please) on it makes a bleep bleep bleep sound and the numbers 3 & 4 become light up! the monitor remains blank. As it is located in a coldish corner of a room and had not been used for several weeks I had the inkling it could be cold / slightly damp so removed the side cover and warmed the interior up and it sparked up no problem . The issue now is that I need to do this every time I want to go on line So does any boffin out there have any idea what the issue coold be ! Is it worth getting it repaired ? do computers have a moisture/temperature sensor ?
I acknowledge this may seem like a DIMWIT question but as I stated earlier I am more at home up to my elbows in oil or grease or ripping up the tarmac in a Caterham 7, so show a little pity and me get back on line before the boss catches me on line
The SPEED DEMON needs your help !
