Computer does not boot
When I try to start my computer, all that happens is that message “Intel inside Pentium D” appears on the screen. I have changed the battery on the motherboard; this makes no difference. What can be the fault? Thank you Ealadi |

What can be the fault? That sounds like a splash screen. Sometimes you can get more specific information by hitting TAB or ESC on startup. Or, if you can get into BIOS you can usually turn it off. Also, I would suggest putting your system into a minimal configuration. Pull any cards, except for video if you need it, from the expansion slots. Disconnect hard, floppy and optical drives. If you computer POSTS at that point, add in your drives and cards to determine what peripheral makes the difference. If your system still hangs before the POST, reseat your memory. If you have redundant memory (check your motherboard manual) use a minimal amount. Swap memory to see if one particular module makes a difference. If possible, get some entirely different known good memory to try. |
