Upgrading vs. New PC?
I took a look at the specs for your Desktop PC... It's far outdated, so I wouldn't hesitate to replace it.I just happen to be a bit of an expert in this field, and I'd advise you to avoid buying from a retail manufacturer (which is nothing more than rebranded hardware). If you're interested, I do have a service on here to provide help getting you the perfect Desktop PC (or even Notebook/Laptop if you'd rather go that route). My fee is cheap, and I'll surely save you more than that. Either way, no matter what you decide, be sure to research anything you buy before you do. Let me know your budget and we can go from there, if you're interested. But to answer your question, again... Yes, it's in your best interest to replace the system. (Your motherboard only supports up to 256 mb of ram, and that is older form factor, plus it won't even come close to the system requirements to run any modern Operating system.)I hope this clears it all up for you. Have a great day, and let me know if I can help any further.Please remember to rate me, Thank You.Christopher
My motherboard will not bout from the HD it will
It might well be the cable from the motherboard to the drive.
The fact that you can read the drive in another computer suggests that the drive itself is fine.
It would also suggest that the controller is also fine.
Double check the jumpers on the drive and the cable.
If you made any changes to the BIOS also check that area.
On/Off problems
It sound as if there is a system file error.
If you havent already, try booting up in safe mode (F8) on start up and when and if it allows you highlight 'Last known good configuration' and hit enter for a restart.
If still nothing you need to insert your windows installation disc and hit enter when prompted.
This will run a file installation, but not a format and when the files have installed you will have the choice to install windows or repair; select repair for system file installation.
Out of frequency range set lower resolution
reboot the system by pressing F8 if your using windows OS and select last good configuration.
you can try also selecting Enable VGA mode (press F8 while rebooting and select ENABLE VGA mode).
hope this helps, please rate.
