Re: Computer Crash

To troubleshoot a mess like that, you disconnect everything from the motherboard, disks, diskette, any usb cables, and remove the memory, and all cards, including video.

If the video is on the motherboard, it should light up and tell you memory is missing. If not, it should beep at you, probably about 6 times telling you the video can't be found.

Install memory and video next.

Then install disks and such one at a time and try it. An inverted ide disk or floppy disk cable can prevent post.

Bent pins on the CPU, bad CPU fan, wrong memory, etc. All bets are off.

hope it helps
