I dunno man, I'm no expert but if you had a gun to my head I would say the problem with your computer is that it's FIVE years old and after 6 months, computers don't really seem capable of handling the new fandangled technological advances.
Does it have a floppy disk drive?
More seriously, it sounds like your RAM. Power supply problems tend not to supply power at all. But the fact that you have a laptop and can't figure out a way to test if it's a power supply problem makes me wonder whether you're using your socks as your naughty mittens.
But you're being a moron. Fixing a 5 year old computer when they're literally giving new computers away to anyone with a few hundred bucks? What's going on with you.

Please do not answer that.
1- RAM seems most likely but then my machine has 2 sticks (1g a piece) and swapping them in different oders, 1 vs 2, that sort of thing-does nothing.
If I yank both and boot the thing, it gives me some funny beeps and then actually STAYS ON but the screen never comes on, the cd drive sounds like it's reading my windows cd, but nothing happens. The HD is whirring, but not producing anything.
RAM goes back in, back to death.
Can both sticks go bad at once like that?
With 40 hours total usage????
Something isn't right, and HP has no interest in telling me anything useful as I am now 5/5 phone calls to "HP" not going to HP whatsoever but some sweat shop in sri lanka or some shit.
#2 I would be delighted to take home one of those "free" machines only costing a few hundred bucks
EXCEPT I DON'T HAVE A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS.
so, ya, if this is fixable I will damn well try...
#3 What's going on with me? Sorry for being so poor, I will be better I promise! Just don't abandon me and my filthy RAGS Mr. SkyNigger!!!!
You're going to spend more time failing to fix this paperweight than it would take to earn the money to buy a brand new one.
I've already told you countless times not to impose your insanity onto others. How could I abandon you? Something would have to happen for that to be possible, wouldn't it?
Dude bdaniels, you have no idea- I am literally scared weird shit might happen
which is why I am almost never here when the affected party is. She goes to daycare for senior catholic toddlers m-th
and saturdays too, when it's $$$ feasible for a retired couple and all
and because some jerk postured his bullshit, I only come over and use the comp when i am DOING SOMETHING FOR THE MAN.
Trust me, you take things like using gmail for granted, I spend hours with the man showing him stuff like that, outlook, getting the comp reformatted.
In the last month I saved his PC (he paid $200 to some tech pirate who INSTALLED NORTON AND SOME OTHER FUCKING BULLSHIT ANTI-VIRUS- AND MALWAREBYTES AND A HALF DOZEN OTHERS, AND DID NOTHING ELSE- nothing!!!) by an easy reformat and from there, spent time teaching him all the shit you think is second nature.
I also kept a fridge from being stolen by his wife's caretaker. What a gal, I walked over with USB in hand to bring over his backed up files when 2 mexicans show up in a white truck, nothing's goings on, suddenly his fridge is making a hasty exit and I noticed- The man of the house, where is he? "sir i don't knoiw, I only take call come with truck"
Hate to abbreviate, the man told me they were picking up a "donated" fridge, I refused to let them leave. The caretaker played dumb, then changed the story to "they agreed to sell for $89" yeah right.
I busted that piece of shit right back to thieving skanksville, put her right on blast with Mr. 408Neighbor that the piece of shit was abusing his wife and her situation.
He thanked me, and handled business with the company (he wrote a damn letter, on a postcard no less- not quite the message I wanted to send, but they are canadian....)
so anyway, my private life is going donkdown very soon. I am sick and fucking tired of you pricks offering nothing and then taking everything I say DAMN NEAR EVERY SINGLE THING and making me look like shit, over and over and over again.
I am not repeating myself. Go ahead and give not a fuck and keep stepping on my toes, and not caring.
See where that gets you jerks.

oh, i've fucking got you now mike. you really fucking slipped up this time. interfering with trade between canadian and mexican nationals is a clear nafta violation. expect a visit from the us customs department bro.
Look it is likely HD if anything is going to die from sitting there not used. Bad memory usually still starts boot ing then crashes. If you never see a logo on the screen then the mother or screen is fried.
Get a sign begging for someone's working laptop. Hang out at an intersection, fight off competing panahandlers. You might gotta get tough back but realize they're bluffing when they start growl ing like dogs.l
My neighbor is a Master Gardner actually, REALLY knows plants and making highly intricate (bob you would be floored- Cobson would jizz instantly at the sight of his 3 dimensional irrigation schematic. was an engineer for Lockheed, shocker I know) ((IT'S A FUCKING 6 HOUR DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR WELL NORTH OF 500 PLANTS FFS. IT DRIPS TO THE MINUTE HOW MUCH DEPTH IS NEEDED FOR THE PARTICULAR PLANTS- TOMORROW I AM GOING TO CAPTURE THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS THING, AND IT WILL BLOW YOU GUYS AWAY))
what the hell am i talking about? neighbor...um master oh fuck it. im going to bed. blew my spunk here on hallowed ground, it was fucking AWESOME
