Answer 1

if you can't access the Bios it's dead, fear not try this open you pride and joy up find the battery make sure the power lead is out completley remove the battery for 5-10 mins insert close up the pc power on if this dosn't work time for a new motherboard

Answer 2

all motherboards have protocols in place to notify the user if there is a problem directly related to the board through a series of beeps (problems with memory and processor are the most common). if you don't hear the beeps when PC starts boot, then it probably isn't the processor or memory. it could be an issue with power if you recently added a drive or upgraded some of the board hardware (i.e. hard drive, CD or DVD drives, video card, wireless network card, etc). there was one situation i came across where the tower had been dropped or something and the heat sink was off center just slightly. the safety mechanism that monitors the CPU temp stops all PC functions, but usually this type of problem results in a restart or full system shut down.
the long and short is that there has been a change in the system somewhere and you will have to identify what that change was.

Answer 3

This does sound like a mobo problem. Chuck has the right idea, check the capacitors on the mobo (the black cylindrical type things sticking out of the mobo). Check each one carefully. They are much cheaper to replace than the mobo, but you must remove/replace them carefully with a soldering iron. They will have a "bulge" on the silvery top, usually. If you not confident, take it to a repair station, or replace the mobo and re-register Win XP.

Answer 4

The fact that your system cannot get past the primary hardware check does mean that there is some hardware failure.

1)Check for any new hardware components you have added.
2)If you are experiencing beeps(provided your speaker is functional), power off pc and reseat RAM and Video card(if any) and retry to power on and check.
3)Check all connections power chord, data cable to drives are firm.
4)If you have lately added a new external device like printer, scanner or any other peripheral, disconnect all of them are try.
5)If you have a network adapter card, try to remove and check.
6)If you are not sure beyond this, consult a pc doctor as needful.

Answer 5

if your soft ware is on a floppy and you still have default bios settings you should be able to insert the floppy and it will read the floppy first at boot up. It will ask you if you would like to boot from floppy. depending on your os you should get a boot disk made, that will work wonders. a win 98 boot disk will work with xp also.

Answer 6

Try to disconnect all ide drives and then try to get into bios if it allows you then plug one in at a time and see if which one is causing the issue then if no go try pulling the cmos battery looks like watch battery for 30 sec. then try to boot up. try changing memory then if no go then cpu.

Answer 7

Looks like someone needs to re install windows.... Well im inpatient so thats what I would do. But the only way I can think is if it checks your drives easily insert the Windows CD and start er up, get it to boot the cd and away you go..

Answer 8

get another motherboard
