Hi,
Seems I have somewhat the same problem as everyone else. According to the Problem Code "Blinking" (1 Blink) I have a CPU issue. The only difference is that from time to time while the computer tries to boot and is making a sort of clicking noise along with the blinking LEDs; like the hard drive is hung???? The computer sometime starts up and I get a display and then I am able to get into all programs and use the computer normally. One time after about 20 min the screen went distorted and then I had to do a hard shutdown. After which the computer would not start up again. On another attempt, I shut the computer down and then could not restart. Another time I just did a RESTART and the computer restarted.
So, based on all this is there really a problem with my CPU or is there another problem with something hanging during boot? I do notice that the fan is not really roaring like it seems to when you first start the computer for the first 10 seconds. I read something in the above comments about the BIOS and fan speed and switch???? Is there a fan speed verification that needs to happen to then move to next step in boot????
Any suggestions?
