Hello,

A strange problem. I press power, fan turns on, hard drive and CD turn on, but no post, no boot. But if I push reset a few times, it boots, and runs fine all day long.

I opened the case, and it was VERY dusty. i blew it out, re-seated the RAM and video card, but that didn't help. I moved the RAM around, swapped them out, but the problem remains. Removing the RAM entirely gives a continuous beep.

I have access to some older PSUs at work, so I've thought about testing one to see if that's the problem, but I'm not too sure if they're compatible...

Thanks!

No display on monitor, light blinks

Hello,

Yesterday, I was thinking of upgrading my RAM. I bought 512 MB SD RAM, but when I opened my CPU I realized that I am not sure if my machine has SD RAM in it. So, I didn't put the new RAM. I then tried to switch on the machine to run some utility for checking my RAM type.

Unfortunately, when I switched on my machine, my display didn't come up. Now, I am having no clue what went wrong as everything looks fine but there is no display.

When I disconnected my monitor from the CPU, I get a test message as no signal. My monitor looks fine. Please help in sorting the issue out.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Syste...
