Hi everyone,
I've had my PC since 2003 and just yesterday when i started it up, it came up with a voice message saying "system failed cpu test". It just keeps repeating this message over and over again. Also, i do not get any video on my monitor, i don't think it could be a monitor problem as i replaced my CRT with an LCD 2 months back.
I've also noticed that when i boot up and let the computer 'warm up' for say 5 minutes then restart it quickly - it works. What could be the problem here? I've always been shutting down before bed and starting up in the morning everyday, and its been working for years, this problem just came out of the blue!
btw, my specs are:
P4 2.53Ghz
ASUS P4S8X Mobo
ASUS 128MB GeForce 4 Ti 4600 Ultra Deluxe
Kingmax 2x512mb DDR PC2700 Ram
80GB Seagate HDD
these are the main things...any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
