Shortly after I turn my computer it turns off

How long is shortly? If it runs and brings up the Windows Desktop and you are allowed to work for 10 minutes or longer then it shuts down, most likely the laptop is overheating. One way to tell if it is overheating is to immediately try to turn it back on after it shuts off. If it will not boot back up, it's overheating. If you let it sit and cool off for a while, then try to boot it back up and it does it successfully, it's overheating.Causes of Overheating:1) Dust all inside the computer. Fans clogged with dust, dust around the vents.2) Fan not working3) The Thermal Past around the CPU has dried up or is too thin the keep the unit cool.When you plug in the power cord is there any lightswhatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of thepower cord?

When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear theDvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for asecond or two? If so the laptop is trying to boot or may have booted, butthe screen is not showing for some reason.

Beep tones and blinking lights tells the technicians what is going on with thelaptop and why it is not booting. Most times it's a motherboard issuewhen you hear beeps or blinking lights continuous.

Hi i have an r630 desktop and it did work but now i have no power to motherboard no fans cpu but i do have power to the hard drives and rom replaced power supply same problem

Maybe your motherboard is toast.

When you plug in the power cord is there any lightswhatsoever on the laptop, where the plug goes in or on the AC Adapter of thepower cord?

When you press the power button do you hear fans running, hard drive spinning,lights on the computer, hear any beeps or lights constantly blinking, hear theDvD/CD drive click and the light on the drawer of the DvD/CD turn on for asecond or two?

Maybe your power cord is bad if you don't get anything to happen whatsoeverwhen you press the power button. And if that's true maybe you wasoperating off the battery the last time you had it on and since the power cordis bad, it was not charging the battery so the battery is drained and the powercord is bad.

Maybe you have a Static Charge Buildup. Remove the Power Cord, Remove theBattery, then Press and Hold the power button for 30seconds. After 30 seconds plug the power cord back in (leave the batteryout) and hit the power button to see if it boots. If it does, you can putthe battery back in and let it charge.

Modem tells me there is no dial tone

Connect the modem to a telephone-jack.
Make sure that the telephone-wire has *FOUR* strands, not just *TWO* strands.

Or, unplug the FAX, and plug a telephone into that telephone-jack, and listen for a dial-tone.

Do you have electronic voice-mail from your telephone company?
If so, does it "beep" a few times when you pickup the handset?
Such "beeps" can confuse any modem that expects *instantly*
to "hear" a dial-tone.

One long beep tone---NO Display on monitor(monitor checked ok)

Definitely not your monitor. It is either a CPU or a Memory problem, is this a new build or did an existing computer suddenly start doing this?

Is that your motherboard, the Gigabyte 7VM400M ?

I don't hear a dial tone

I think you may have the phone line plugged into the wrong jack on the machine. The line coming from the wall should be plugged into the port that has an "L" next to it. The other port, with an icon of a telephone next to it, is for an extension phone or answering machine.

Cant get ring tone or phones to work

This question was posted on the troubleshooting page for the VT-9118. This answer is specific to this model; other models have slightly different sequences.
The VT-9118 can use one of 4 different ring tones, and can be turned off. 

To reset your ring tone: 
  1. Remove the handset from the base. 
  2. Press PROG. You should hear a single short beep.
  3. Press #.  You should hear a single short beep. 
  4. Press a number 1 through 4. You should hear a long "ring" tone (it might be startling!). You can try other numbers from 1 to 4 to hear them all.  
  5. Press MEM to confirm your ring. You will hear a medium beep. 
To turn the ringer off, follow the same instructions, but choose number 5. 
 
Hope this helps you. If you need for information, you can download the user manual from http://www.vtechphones.com/docMgt/public/art/313/vt9118.pdf
