Sorry if I have started this thread in the wrong place.
With a Pentium 4 Computer already in use I decided to re-use the old Pentium 3 Computer with following specs:
The P3 Computer has a on board BUILT IN Date Stamp 11/02/01 (2001)
384MB RAM ( 256MB + 128MB )
40GB HDD
On Board Intel Graphics Video card
CD-RW Drive
KeyBoard (USB), Mouse (USB)
With a replacement of the dead CMOS Battery, the Computer ran smoothly just a few days ago and prompted for the Disk Drive(I had no HDD then). I then added the 40GB HDD yesterday and started the Computer only to find the Computer automatically getting inside the BIOS with the newly bought USB KeyBoard unusable no lights, nothing.
I know that the absence of lights in KeyBoard could mean a dead Computer Board, but it was the same just few days ago too.
But after some minutes of rest and a try, the Monitor was not displaying any thing. The light of the Monitor keeps blinking and its' the old Pentium 3 Computer has a Slot which is incompatible with newer Graphics Card(Graphics Card after 2001). It has the old Graphics Card Slot which is useless now.
I tried changing the Power Supply, the CMOS Battery, removing a slot of RAM, etc but nothing worked. After some hours, I also unplugged the HDD, the CD-RW Drive, but nothing worked.
And now after nearly 7 hours, the Computer itself doesnot start and the Wires are just untouched so I don't know what caused it to be unstartable.
I know that the P3 Computer is nearly 10 years old(from Manufacture Date). But was could be found working and healthy just a few days ago.
Thanks......................................................
