Firstly, the PC worked fine last night - no sign of dying or anything.
Today, the gf turned on her kids puter, and the screen came on as normal, but went off about 2 seconds later... PC remained on, but nothing came on the screen at all.
When I got home from work, I checked it, and its doing the same thing. It doesnt progress into loading WindowsXP (I would be able to tell by HDD sound and the activity light on the case).
It isnt so much a problem as I'm upgrading it at the weekend with my current p3 750mhz etc, but i would really like to find out what the problem is, and how I would go about sorting it.
I've replaced the psu - that was step #1 - no change
Anyway... specs are as follows:
intel celeron 566mhz
256mb pc-133 ram (2x 128mb)
some poo skt370 mobo - i think its gigabyte - its like a ringed car - no markings lol - cant boot to run any apps to check either :/
64mb gf2mx pci
realtek rtl8139 pci nic
48x cdrom
20gb wd hdd
thanks for any advice given... much appreciated
