right,
i started a post a while ago coz i thought my hardrive was dead here was the symptoms
computer loaded up to diff places sometimes xp flash screen sometime log on sometimes 10 mins after i logged on.
n e way what it did was turn itself off except the num lock light was still on my keyboard ??
dead hardrive right ??
so i get my bro to get a hardrive from work he brings it home i turn on the computer / without makin n e changes just to double check. and it doesnt turn on.
i unpplug powersupply plug it back in i turn it on and it goes crazy and turns itself on and off like 2 times a second u cant tell the fans have stopped all i can tell is the power led light flicks on and off really fast and fans sound like there revving up like and engine up .. down .... up ... down .
so i unplug the the hardrive and retry turning it on same thing happens.
so i think right what next i unplug all the jumpers for the front panel stuff unplug cd drive unplug floppy drive and remove the RAM thinkin it shouldnt turn on but give me a really annoying beep lettin me know its got no RAM but no it just turns it self off and on constantly.
whats wrong wiv it ?? im thinkin mobo or PSU
i mean its an old celeron 478 with 512MB RAM is it really worth buying a new mobo or PSU or shall i just get a new pc.
its my family computer so im guessing a new build wouldnt need to cost more than £130 ish and new mobo will be like £30 ?? so im not sure weather to buy new or repair ??
what u think it is ? PSU or Mobo ? or something diff
