    computer doesn't want to switch on

    Hello everyone Well, I did what you recommended: I remove eveything apart from the CPU with heatsink, one stick of ram (had only one anyway), graphics card and power supply. Doesn't change a thing I even tried without the HD plug to the power supply and nothing changed. I check the fuse into...

    Win98SE auto shutdown after 5mins

    I haven't had time to test the problem in safe mode yet.. but I'll do it ASAP. I also think it is a overheating problem because last time, I opened the box and the cooling radiator (it's not a cooling fan) was warm (but I don't think it was too warm) and I also opened the power supply and the...

    Win98SE auto shutdown after 5mins

    Thank you for your reply. No I haven't uninstall the software and I will do it tonight as soon as I'm at home. But I doubt it comes from that because I installed it 1 or 2 weeks before the problem occured and it was working fine till 2 weeks ago. I'm not a guru in computer and I would like to...

    Win98SE auto shutdown after 5mins

    Hello ;) My PC was working fine 2 weeks ago. Since, I've got a problem which is getting worse everyday. I started having problems when starting it. I needed to start it 3-4 times in a row because it was shutting down by itself. After 3-4 times, no more problem for the day. But the problem...

    Strange BEEPS after POST and PC going idle time to time!!

    Hello, Well as you told me, i did switch the RAM sticks, put only one, then removed it, and put the other one, then both. I still have the same problem. My PS is 250V. Is it too low for my mobo? I also noticed something: When I run the soft to zero my HD, it takes two steps to erase the disc...

    Strange BEEPS after POST and PC going idle time to time!!

    Hello, I did the test last night: Removed Sound card, HD, CDrom: still the same 4 short beeps loop. Then removed the graphic card: I had the normal one long beep and 3 short beeps (according to ASUS guide, it means there's a problem with the video card... normal, it's not there *grin*) then I...

    Strange BEEPS after POST and PC going idle time to time!!

    I checked the 3 LEDs on the graphic card. I opened the case, switched on the PC and looked at the LEDs. The green and orange LEDs were on and the red one (error) was always off even during the beeps. I also reseated the graphic card and checked its connectors. I'll try tonight to remove...

    Strange BEEPS after POST and PC going idle time to time!!

    I thought of that and I'm actually trying to get a working graphic card to try it. I don't have another video card (gave my old one to a friend) so I asked him to borrow it one night. :) Dz But is it possible that it comes from somewhere else? Power supply, CMOS?

    Strange BEEPS after POST and PC going idle time to time!!

    Well I checked that already. On the ASUS mainboard guide, it gives me different types of beeps + their meaning but this one is not in the liste. The closest in the list is one beep + 3 other beeps for video card problems but I'm sure I've got 4 beeps in a row.

    Windows 98 Installation trouble

    Hello ;) I actually have the same problem. I want to install Win98 on a totally zeroed HD. I formatted it and when I try to boot my computer on the CDRom it says:"NTDLR is missing". Now, I think it may be because I formatted my HD from Win2000 Repare Console and I formatted it into a...
