Problem No.1: Fixed :)
Problem No.2: Computer being put together with some new cheap parts and old parts of No.1, cept this one doenst make it past BIOS. when turned on it stops at "CPU Intel Celeron 2.4 etc. etc." and just sits there frozen. resat the cpu and ramm, unplugged all devices. problem is that its so old we dont have the booklet, so i dont know what the CMOS reset switch is, will look it up i guess. any ideas?
Problem 2 - remove the cmos battery.
problem 1 - any additional cards that may be in the machine cause it not too boot?? sound cards network etc etc??
CMOS reset switch should be ona little table on the mobo and the pins should have a number next to them.
sounds like your mixing new and olf hardware, not always a good idea.
ALso check your PSU rails. is it hard restarting (any hard drives powering up again after computer restarts)/
removed the battery and changed the jumper as per the asus website...still nothing on problem 2. Removing the PCI Devices worked, thanks Kurt :D
And yeah i know its not a good idea..but problem 2 is a media box, so i tried to spend as little as possible. i'm at work now, so i'll try fiddling with it when i get home.
Thanks for the replies fellas.
