I downloaded a whole batch of emails, dealt with them, and went away leaving d4x downloading a file.
When I came back, nothing but a blank screen, I touched a key, and a mandrake boot script appears, hung at fsck, y/n , I say yes, it completes the fsck and then hangs again.Nothing further , just a blank black screen , no script at all.
Panic,
Ctrl+alt+del ineffective alt+SysRq+B ineffective Have to shut power off(reset buttlon ineffectual)
I power up again, and nothing but a blank black screen not even a bios boot screen, and in addition 4 red LED mobo display which manual say's
4 RED LED's = System Power On, The D-LED will hang here if processor is damaged or not installed Properly.
This suggest's that it's curtains for my processor, AMD Athlon Palamino, but before I condem it and go rushing off to replace it I thought I had better ask first if there is anything I should do to test it first.
Any suggestions welcomed, as this is my first processor failure.
John.
