Evening all
I'm having computer problems... I'm trying to fix a PC for a mate. The problem was that it wasn't turning on at all, so I got a new 600w PSU for it (old one was 500w). Hooked it all up this evening and the PC now turns out but doesn't do much except the floppy drive makes a bit of noise every 5 secs or so. If I completely disconnect the floppy I get 8 beeps repeated continously but nothing else. A bit of Googling reveals this is a video card error. So I dug an old Matrox card out from the loft and put that in. Same thing - 8 beeps when the floppy is not connected.
Anyone got any ideas as to what it should be? I notice the new PSU is missing a white wire in the motherboard socket compared to the old one, which is -5v apparently - could that cause problems?
And before anyone asks I've no idea of the spec of the PC - it's got an AMD processor and a red motherboard and 512Mb of DDR RAM.
So any advice would be appreciated as the said mate is the guy I'm buying the T5 off, so it'd be good to keep him sweet ;)
Cheers
