I have another computer that was working fine until yesterday. I had a 60g harddrive in it along w/one stick of 128. I was going to take it down to see if I could get more because the Monster just too slow. I'm working on another computer
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,76823.msg502873.html#msg502873 with similar configurations. It has the exact same memory stick. I took both and put them in the Monster just to see if 2 128s would be effective.
I turned the computer on like I've done dozens of times and nothnig happened.
The fans turn on, & there's a red LED under the power button on front, but the HDD, the Floppy and the 2 ROMs do nothing.
I tried switching around the memory, & went back to one stick. Failed.
Tried another power cord, same result. Tried another power source -2 others in fact- and still get nothing.
Finally pulled the 60g drive and slapped it into the Old Beast, and poof, it boots.
I have the sneaking suspicion the problem is MB related. The battery maybe?
Last time this computer was running it was doing an Auto Update, I believe SP3.
It's running XP Pro (at least it would be if it would turn on).
Tell me where to look for info on the board because I can't power it up to run Belarc or Everest on it.
Thanks in advance, you guys rock
