Help! PC not starting

[Seabosz]

I have this old hp pc and I need to retrieve some files of it but it wont boot.

I have tested the PSU and it is all fine (green light also lighted up) I have tried it without ram sata ports using a screw driver to boot

if you know any way please share because I need these files fast

if it helps here is model number: HP PAVILION SLIMLINE S3020.NL

 

EDIT: The files are somehow locked and can only be retrieved by that pc

 

EDIT: Specs:

CPU: Xeon e5450 (LGA 775 Modded)

Ram: 3GB of some random generic brand

GPU: Nvidia GT630

PSU: ACBEL HP STOCK PSU (HP Part Number: 5188-7521)

Try kicking it.

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. Don't try kicking it, that's a terrible f***ing idea.

Can't you just plug the hard drive into another computer to retrieve the files?

[oskarha]

Take out the harddrive from that machine and put it in your main rig?

What do you mean 'locked'? Can you provide a more detailed explanation of what happens when you try to use it on another PC.

what you can do is try replacing the parts in the case 1 by 1, ram, psu, gpu or what not
