Was: Order In Which To Attempt To Revive Dead PC I had trouble earlier this month after replacing a seeminly dying battery but now I am trouble free thanks to clean living and world peace. I started to teouble shoot with just the new battery, the agp card and the monitor plugged in with no ram and no pci cards and with the ide channels pulled. On startup I saw nothing on the screen so I guess you need ram for that : ) but I did hear some beeps which I was not getting before. I should mention that I needed a crow bar to remove the ram and a series of levers and pulleys to extradite the pci cards so I am not convinced that they were the problem and prior to all this when I was initially trouble shooting I quadrupled check to make sure that all the connections to and from the MB were tight and secure. Long story short I started to add a stick of ram at a time and then the cards and the ide channels and everything came up kosher. Here is what I think happened. After running almost 24/ 7 for the past 6 plus years my PC finally finished downloading all of the porn on the Internet and "mission accomplished" was at a loss as to what to do next and in a moment of self preservation just shut itself off until sensing that I was in a panic came back to life. Thanks to all who made suggestions. -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
