Question about Compaq Presario S6300NX PC Desktop

HELP! NO POWER !!!

I have a Compaq Presario S6300NX, had it for awhile, I have had no problems with it up until now, with no warning, no clue, no hint, and just out of the blue after a normal shutdown last night, woke up this morning and went to turn on the computer and nothing hsppened, no lights, no beep, no screen absolutely nothing happened, although I have noticed the little green light on the back of the computer near where you plug the AC cord in is Blinking and not a steady on as it should be under normal conditions, What does this indicate? Is it time for a new internal power supply? I have checked the power sorces (powerstrip, wall outlet and the AC Cord) and they are all good. [email protected]

When I go to turn on the computer, nothing. The green light where the power supply cord is on. When I hit the button in the front to turn the computer on...the green light goes off and there is no power. When I pull the power supply cord out and replug it the green light goes on and I still cannot get power to the tower.

Most common reason for this would be defective power supply, if it is less than 1 year old, may still be under warranty. If older then you can usually find replacement power supply $40+ at local computer store. Not to difficult to replace, average tech could swap it in less than 15 minutes. Can test it with one of these: http://www.antec.com/Detail.bok?no=429

Change your hotmail password immediately, someone else has access to your account. Run a full virus-scan of your computer with Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG Free - keep running scans until it comes up zero.

What ati and nvidia video cards are compatible with presario s6300nx

The motherboard used has an AGP 8X/4X expansion slot for a video card. Any card for this type of slot will work, and your choice will probably be based on what applications you want to run, and how much you want to spend. Since this computer is an AMD Athlon system, some people believe you should use an ATI card. AMD owns ATI, and there is a belief that an ATI card will perform better. I've tried both (my current video card is an nVidia model, in an Athlon dual-core board), and at least for me it makes no difference.

Can the compaq presario s6300nx has the requirments for windows vista

If the pc is stock - no. To make it compatible you need to add a lot more memory, at least 1GB, and you need a decent video card. With that 7 will run acceptably well, it's still an old pc with a weak processor.
