Need help for old comp
Here is my problem. I have an old family comp that the kids use. Recently, I got the dreaded BSOD, and now I get nothing on the screen. Everything seems to be powering up nicely, but it doesn't even boot.
__________________The processor is and old 540J Pentium and the mobo is a P5GV-MX Asus......... Since it was my kids comp, I took the overclock back to stock some time ago. Could it be the motherboard? and if so, could someone link me to one I could buy? Thanks

try to reset the cmos on the board first that may solve it. And there are other things you can try before giving up, maybe a stick of ram went bad so you can take them out but one and try all the sticks etc. and maybe a ram slot went bad so try moving them into different slots one at a time etc.

Did you recently install any new hardware? Update any drivers? Anyway you can get the error code off the blue screen?

ok, i have this same problem on one of my boards. I have to send it in to get RMAed and as far as I have found, the BIOS is corrupted. Im I right that your computer powers on, but there are no beeps and nothing comes on the screen?

That is correct, sir.
__________________As far as the motherboard goes, I will have to get another if that is the problem...but I would like to perhaps get some links to mobos that are compatible with the processor.

You did take the battery out off the motherboard with it unplugged resetting the cmos?
