malone labe

I think all cop cars need to have turbo. nbspnbsp Then they would understand the necessity of putting your foot down and how uncontrollable the urge is to fucking rail on that shit.

ok so hooked up a diff psu, looks like the old 2x2 power connector is burned or something, shit was brown.

ok i turned it on, and got 3 beeps which is a memory error. this was with everything unplugged just like before, thoughts?

when i do that i get no beeps, and pretty much back to the same thing. no vid, fans running

tho theres a vid card, as the onboard vid on the mobo seems to be missing. lol. but i believe they had been using it this way.

At that point it could be a number of things and by the sounds of it, it's an old PC and wouldn't be worth paying to fix.

I'd build a new one :P

BTW it uses DDR memory, which is more expensive than DDR2 and DDR3 for the same amount  :?:

I was trying to fix a computer for someone that was similar to this. Turned out the power supply was fried and a stick of RAM was fried.

Does ANYTHING show up on the screen (IE: the black POST screen at the very beginning)?

If absolutely nothing is displayed on the screen, it's the video card.  If your video card is integrated into your motherboard, it's time for a new mobo.

i tried a diff, ps. and switched the ram around.

yep, nothing on the screen. it does have integrated video, someone added a pci vid slot, but still nothing on there. i cant figure this shit out. i figured dead mobo and psu, as it didnt do jack shit other than spin its fan(psu) when i hit to power button

Intel is > AMD at the moment and has been since core 2 duos :P  P3 was shit, P4 was meh...

Try one stick of ram at a time...if you have one bad stick out of 2, it won't boot.

New computer time.  You'd be losing money trying to fix anything that old.

Unplug everything and plug them in one at a time. Also use ram out of a known good computer. My aunts computer was being a bastard and wouldn't do jack, turns out it was a bad ethernet card.

It won't boot, but it should still POST.  That's what leads me to believe it's the integrated video, processor, or mobo itself.  However, he tried a PCI vid card and nothing... so I'm thinking mobo or processor.

I'd just start fresh.  You can get a decent machine pretty cheap these days.

Excuse my bad choice of words.

When you start the computer, the bios does a quick memory/system test.

It will not post with dead ram.

Bad ram it still may post, dead ram no.
