Virus or something else wrong with computer?
Closed
Hello,
I have a Dell desktop computer. Everything had been working fine, up until 2 days ago. On Tuesday, I turned on my computer like usual and I noticed that my monitor was not normal. I could not see anything on my desktop. It was black. And also, the power button was blinking green every 3 seconds and would not stop, until I actually removed the plug from the surge protector.
Yesterday the same thing happened when I turned on my computer, but today, when I turned it on, I could see my desktop and the power button was normal green and not blinking. I was happy, until I moved the mouse and the cursor was frozen. Now, it seems like my desktop monitor is fine, but my mouse isn't normal? I unplugged the mouse from the tower and plugged it back in, cleaned out the mouse, and it's still frozen.
Does this sound like a virus or could there be something wrong with my mouse, monitor, or something internally?

Can you hit F12 during the boot process? You can start a Dell diagnostic program that will check your hardware from that screen. I am guessing you have a hardware problem. Good Luck
