These days hardware dies on it's own without any extra help from the owner. Are you sure your power supply is up to the task of running for 5 years? Are you sure the capacitors on your board won't bulge and die in 6 months? With today's hardware I would NEVER guarantee a system to run solid for 5 y

Just start removing components until it POSTs. Try pulling the RAM and see if it beeps at you. Make sure your video card is fully seated. Pull the power plug, hit the power switch a couple times and plug it back in. Be sure all your PCI cards are completely in. I just had a dead NIC the other day

I was doing it through the IBM BIOS, where there was a great "233 / 266 / 300 / 333" option. Far too tempting given that my understanding was I could just flash BIOS if it didn't work :( -Max Jamie wrote: I forgot to mention in previous posts... overclocking that cpu may require cutting a trace

I removed the battery and tried a few combinations of the BIOS reset jumper (1, 2, off) with combinations of battery-in, battery-out. I'll try pulling/reseating the CPU, hadn't thought of that. D'ya think the newer PCI card installed (wireless) might be causing a conflict? It was working fine b
