It's not that we cannot help you and I realize you are new here, but we will not allow you to jump in the middle of a thread and take help away from the poster who originally started this thread so please hold up until a Mod moves you into your own thread.

 

Hi jrpg10389

Welcome to Tech Support Guy Forums!

I have moved your post to its own thread.
Please continue replies for this issue here.
Thank you

 

Tell us why you consider "they are coming on fine"?

Does the keyboard work? (try the Caps Lock key, the Caps Lock light should go on and off each press). If that does not work, the computers are certainly not "coming on" at all.

A simple but effective test.

 

yes it comes on and to all the people that got mad when i ''jumped into somones thread'' i looked for probably 15 minutes try8in to find a link that said new post or something and could not find it and i also did not know this was not allowed haha sorry for who i did that too and thanks to who are trying to help me ok i tried that with the main one that i wanted to get working and no caps lock light does not go on and off man...... i hope your reply is not the board is screwed lol i really want to get this computer running

 

ok yep had no clue

 

the keyboards lights flash right as i turn the computer on they flash once but after that i cant make caps lock come on

 

i just dont know it could also be the ram cards could be bad...... but both of them going out at once is unlikely which on my other computers that have this problem i have tried different ram cards in that i know work for a fact i hope u can help me

 

When the keyboard lights dont work with Caps Lock, that means the computer is failing POST and not even reaching the BIOS. Simply put, it's just not booting at all.

So your problems are quite deep, and could be any of the vital components.

 

And, at the top of the list of all threads on the page, a big "new thread" button allows you to post a new thread?
