Subject: my PC not starting

Question
HI,
 My PC has AMD-3200 (2.0Ghz) processor, Asus motherboard, 160gb hard-disk.
My PC is unable to get started. When I try to start, the message-"Please check input signal" is being displayed even I had checked everything in place. This problem occured when I connected my pen drive to USB. Is that any virus attack. I am using Panda antivirus.What can I do to start my PC.
Please suggest a remedy to me

Answer
HI Srik,

I would rather say you short circuited the USB power line and that shutdown your power supply. The message comes from the monitor because the computer is off. Check the USB port where you plugged your pen drive. The contacts are probably damaged, try separating the contacts and if successful block the use of that port.

Ricardo
