Installed OOTP 09 and computer now won't start

smellmylife · 01-15-2009, 09:50 PM

I have a year old Dell, running Vista. I installed OOTP and then I rebooted my computer and NOTHING happens. My monitor is blank and I can't even really hear it running! Did this game just fry my computer? Please help!

I can't imagine how it could have. Did you check to make sure that it is still plugged in?

One of my relatives had this happen to a Dell. She hadn't installed OOTP, but the power supply just gave up the ghost. I took the side off the PC, turned it on and none of the fans even thought about starting.

Think whatever happened would probably have happened whatever you'd installed.
