Hi Shrek. Yep, a problem with the power supply would do it. Your system wasn't detecting any of the hardware so it just quit, hence no post...
Hi Oldman. It may be that the com port(s) are turned off in the BIOS. You might check there and see if that is the problem. Giles
Hi r.leale. That is a common problem. It is seen a lot when burning cds or dvds. The first thing to do is unplug and replug the cables to...
Hi Shrek. I also use a caddy for backup. Very useful. I have about 5 separate hard disks I insert for varying purposes. For your problem,...
Hi burnham. Yes, it's because you have an ht processor. I'm running the same thing, two cpus built into one chassis. (You might want to be...
Hi Burnham. Frustrating isn't it. When the system is running at 100% or so key Ctrl/Alt/Del at the same time and bring up the Windows Task...
Hi Kengster. The battery goes for around 2 dollars I think. I change mine once a year just for the heck of it. I would do that first, then if...
Hi Burnham. Yes, the motherboard can get very hot with 100% usage. Those other chips on the motherboard work with the cpu and when the cpu is...
Hi David Favin. I might be wrong on this but that sounds a lot like you have the bios set for parity for the memory and you're getting a parity...

Hi soll. Way to go. Probably a spike in the electrical lines at some point dumped the bios a little. A low battery shouldn't have caused that...
Hi BERT 5. You're quite welcome. Those guys that design that seem to have their own particular way to display their logo. I guess that way...
Hi soll. The problem isn't with the floppy or hdd. You can't boot to the A:\ prompt or with the hdd, the problem is in the bios. I would...
Hi BigBadRadDad. I know how to do that but I'm not gonna tell you. Besides, I think the board rules forbid it. You need to go back to the...
Hi soll. That is usually a bios problem caused by either a low motherboard battery or a hard drive with a bad mbr. I would boot from a floppy...
Hi Bert 5. Somewhere in the bios is a setting that allows you to turn off the SOYO DRAGON LOGO. It will then show the post data. It is posting,...
Just a couple of things on this general subject. If you have a SATA drive and disable it in the bios so you can install Vista on another drive...
Hi Killero. In view of your comment on the memory let me amplify. In more than half of the comments I found on ATI cards (or built-in) there...
