Desktop cannot start
Hello
I could not power up my desktop but with a lot of finagling I got it going(power cord - in out).
Somehow, luckily , I got something on my monitor and the power button went from yellow+steady, to white.
Using Macrium I recovered an image. I then ran SFC, Dell diagnostics + all fine now ).
Question, I have a rescue flash drive WinPE for Windows 10.
Could I have booted from it to get to see something on the monitor even if I could not get in the BIOS or even get anything on the screen?
Do you just hold the power button until the flash drive takes over?
I do not know how to use a rescue media if I cannot start the PC and googling is not helping.
I cannot ask the Macrium forum as I am not a paid member.
I have run MBAM with exploit and Defender. I also have SpywareBlaster and am behind a router.
Thank you
Peter
