407664 2005-11-26 01:39:00 Its not the CPU though, i have run it in my current machine with no problems at all (apart from the fact it was slower than my 1ghz cpu). I think its either the PSU or the Mobo. I have also replaced ALL the memory in it without a problem. I have removed everything it doesnt need to boot up.

On thing i just noticed though is that it NEEDS a network cable in it to turn on...which is strange....

407665 2005-11-26 02:23:00 It could be a PSU problem. Swap it with a known-to-be good PSU and see how it goes.

407666 2005-11-26 02:25:00 Thats what i think it will be, the only prob is, is that all my machines are compaq, and use a strange connector (Well i think it is), or SFF cases. Im getting a normal ATX PSU on monday from a friend.

407668 2005-11-26 06:41:00 These random restarts can also be caused by virus/malware.I would go and get it checked out.

Which I doubt coz there's nothing on it lol.

Cant get malware, if it's not actually working, or u can't install windows on it.

407670 2005-11-26 06:50:00 Well if it is somthing to do with a virus....eg swap for a hard drive you know that works... what i said earlier was swap each part one at a time and then you will find what is wrong with it e.g swap the power supply and if it still doesnt work its not the power supply at foult. homer (363)
407671 2005-11-26 06:52:00 Or try formatting that hdd on a working computer, then chuck it back in.

It it crashes while connected as a slave, then the hdd is the prob.

407672 2005-11-26 06:56:00 yea i reckon it would be to do with the hard drive so try that first :badpc: :thumbs: homer (363)
