M17 won't turn on! Help.

I was playing a game for about 30 minutes, had to leave the computer for about 40 minutes so I left it idle in game. When I returned the computer was shut off. I tried to turn it back on and the power button just flashes orange a few times then shuts down. The computer will not boot with or without being plugged in. Any ideas what may have happened? I'm currently in Iraq and it would totally suck if my only source of entertainment crapped out on me. Thanks.

 

Oh man, something like this happened to me with my dell inspiron.

I left it on my bed while running a game, I came back a few hours later and it would turn on and then turn off a few seconds later with the orange light in the battery spot.

I believe it was the battery that crapped out. I had to take the battery out and then use the ac adapter...It was a long time ago and I just ended up giving the notebook to my dad

 

Are you getting any beeps when it tries to start?

 

Have you tried to reset the cmos with the reset button on the left near the sd card reader?
You will need to go to the setup bit hitting F2 after the reboot because you will loss you bios config.

 

it happened to me i was playign fear 2 and didnt know if came unplugged i thought i blew a gpu ... ur battery is dead charge it up

 

Nevermind guys. We figured out the problem. It wasn't the computer, the power strip it was plugged into blew a fuse. Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated.

 

well at least its not laptop related! I hate these kind of posts as it makes me worry about my dearly beloved!

 

you guys should read mine ... is there any way to read on your post in a thread? i need to find one

 

ok here it is my story... just happened..


Ok i was gaming on fall out 3 max res Antialising 8 samples anisotropic 15 samples and every thing i could from shadows to what ever on as high it would go ...(testing E-wrecks drivers...and it played 30 fps ) so about 2 hours in ...i was pwning and my screen went black ...i was like ohhh no it crashed...then i was like hummm. Then it just shut off, then i just was like ...then it hit me fried mobo or graphics card. So i checked for heat and it felt kinda hot but was not burning. So i tryied to turn it back on and the light just flashed i was like oh no (my desktop mobo fried one time and it did that) so i unplugged and tried and didnt work, so i felt even worse. Then i opened it up and felt around it felt warm --like 110 degrees so i was like did it just fry (no way)???? so i blew on it to cool it down and kept trying ....wouldnt turn on ....i was getting depressed by now. I took out the battery and it was hot so i tried plugging it in with out the battery andddddd bam wouldnt turn on no flashy lights nothing so i was like NO POWER plugged in the ac adapter and booted right back up



happened in january

 

is it working now or is it still happening. when i run games i leave hwmoniter in the background and check it every hour and say oh yeah and go back. were you overclocked. and what hit 110 the gpu's or the cpu?

try to let it cool all the way down and then with the battery and it plugged out. then hold the power button to let out the remaining power and try it again.
