No Booting to BIOS, Monitor just stays on Save

Hi guys, i recently bourght all the parts for a desktop and put it all together myself, installed XP home SP2 correctly with no fails or problems, all hardware is installed correctly aswell. a problem arised when it wouldnt boot even to BIOS and i tried it with just the CPU and RAM (using onboard graphics). Later on it Randomly started working again (thiswas bout month ago), but i recently bought a new case and the problem has yet arised again! iv already returned the SG-80 mobo, and this is a replacement. iv cleared the CMOSS memory and checked the BIOS battery, iv also reinserted grease for CPU and checked if hardware is connected prperly about 58475 times! should i just randomly keep trying it? thnaks

    it doesnt get to BIOS, it just stays on save. the monitor doesnt seem to read anything through the onboard gc or the ATI G Card.

    all the system seems to do s use the DVD Drive. It uses it then stops then uses it again then stops, iv never seen this before.

    thanks

    I did not as i couldnt get into the BIOS to change the Graphics, so if theres no beeps, i have a memory problem(the RAM being used is fully combatable with the Mobo)

    its strange how it stops to keep checking the DVD drive and doesnt use the HDD once through starting up,

    i thought it may be the BIOS battery being low charged or having need of replacement but as its brand new (and a replacement) i dont think it would as it did the exact same problem with the old Mobo.

If there are no beeps at all on boot up it's a memory timing problem, Go into bios in standard bios settings menu and disable 'Halt On All Errors' if it isnt already, this may show up the problem in the initial power on self test.

    when you booted with on board graphics did you before hand change the primary graphics controller as onboard in the bios or is it still set at yor AGP card if you had one fitted previous.

    But if no beeps(should be one then another not two together)still have a memory problem and wont even get to bios screen and monitor will go into power save mode.

    Not all memory works with all boards.

    The board must be working if it's checking your dvd drive etc

    You can't just boot with cpu and ram as what can the pc look for if theres no hdd.

I have IBM P3 and i want to change win xp but its not booting pliz help me and it doen't give me option of booting

Turn the computer on. Keep your eyes glued to the bottom of the monitor screen. This usually comes by fast, so keep your eyes peeled.

When the computer manufacturer logo screen comes up, look for the -> enter CMOS Setup, or enter BIOS Setup, <- key to press.

Write it down.
If Windows loads on your computer, allow it to load, and run for a few minutes.
Turn the computer off normally.
WAIT 20 seconds, or so; then turn the computer back on.

AS SOON AS you press the Power On button, start tapping on the enter BIOS Setup key. (Or enter CMOS key)
Tap in 2 second intervals.

If you hear beeps ignore them. They are Stuck Key Error Code beeps, and it is you that is doing it.

Once you get into BIOS. look for Boot Options.
In Boot Options set the first boot device to CDROM.

REMEMBER, you have to Save Changes, or it will be like you have done nothing at all.

I have a windows 98 system bios and i wish to Put a differnt Hard drive in that has windows xp on it . Is there a way to do this

Hi
It probably won't work. Win 98 machines not only had older BIOS but also the processor was older and most importantly the video was older. XP may just not be able to recognize these parts. In my lab I use an old Dell laptop that was made specifically for Win 98. I was able to install XP but the graphics stay in four color mode as there were no drivers ever written for XP. Also the hard drive with XP was probably formated using NTFS while Windows 98 (unless modified) only recognizes FAT. Good luck and sorry

Installing of windows xp pro with caldera dos

Sounds like your not booting up to the CDROM that you XP PRO disk is in you booting to the hard drive .... what you need to do is go into your bios (usually this is the DEL key, maybe F2, or F10), you will need to look at the screen as it boots up to know for sure... it will say something like Press DEL to Enter Setup. Under the boot menu choose to boot to the CDROM first... it has you put the CDROM and Hard drives in a boot order... ofcourse make sure CDROM is first. Save the Bios usually by hitting the ESC key after making the needed changes and then it will ask you if you want to Save, ... yes you do want to SAVE Changes. Good Luck!!! I hope this works for you!!!

Computer turns on, but does not boot to XP

Generally, fans are controlled by heat readings...something to check is the operating temperature that is shown in your BIOS when you boot up...(access your BIOS by tapping on the delete key, or F2 key while booting)..if it goes over 70C real quick then there is a CPU heat dissipation problem, which would cause the fan to run like this i think that it is more of an issue that your CPU died...has your machine taken any kind of hit or fall that might have loosened things?...or perhaps the heat sink compound between the heatsink and CPU failed.....
but it also could be a dead MB
