Comment:
I touched a hard drive and conducted a slight static electric shock. Now when i try to boot the computer up, it will turn on and beep then turn off in about 3 seconds. I have tried to clear the CMOS and i have unplugged the power calbes but it doesnt fix the problem. I really need to boot my home computer, please help. Thanks in advance.
