Desktop Power Light Fades In/Out - Partial Power
I was recently using my Gateway desktop and the power in the whole house went out for about 10 seconds. I left the PC off for about 10 mins but when I turned it on, the light on the power button fades in and out constantly like it's hibernating or something. But it still boots up and loads Windows 7 fine. Except all USB peripherals and PCI wireless card have no power. Same thing happens in safe mode. But they do work outside of the OS (like I can use the keyboard to enter the bios but once Windows loads, the keyboard turns off).

Ya I have to agree with glc on this!!!
Only thing you could try is reformat, but I wonder does the Device Manager see any of hardware? I would get a battery backup so if this ever happens again your computer won't be affected by this because I don't run my computer without one and have heard horror story's of what happens to computers ofter the power goes out and comes back on! Battery backups will stop this |
