Comment: WHEN I SWITCH ON MY SYSTEM, THE HARD DISK LIGHT IS ON, THE POWER IS ON. BUT IT IS NOT DISPLAYING ON THE MONITOR.
EVEN THE CD-DRIVE LIGHT IS ON. WHEN I PRESS THE EJECT BUTTON OF THE CD-ROM DRIVE, IT DOESNT EJECT. THE HARDDISK LIGHT REMAINS ON AND IS NOT BLINKING. THAT ALSO APPLIES TO THE LIGHT OF THE HARDDISK.
PLEASE I WILL BE WAITING FROM YOUR REPLY. aseman

Reply: (edit)Possible that the harddrive is not running at its normal speed, freezing up or slowing down.
My computer took 20 min. to boot the other day.
I was watching the HDD activity indicator light,
and it would remain on, and not rapidly blinking.
Mechanical devices do have problems. Harddrive manufacturers have software for download for testing HDD.
