literally no idea, the comp was free from my uncle a couple years ago, upgraded everything except the mobo and cpu since then. i know it's old and shit but other than that no idea.

just buying this as i'm not 100% sure its the mobo and not the cpu broken.
as i'm here i'll describe the problem.
plugged everything back in, switched on and got 6 beeps, took everything apart and put it back together and now when i switch it on the fans just run and nothing else happens, also when i switch it on at the wall or turn the PSU on it just starts running the fans instead of doing a power check then going off like it should.

that'd be fantastic Greg, if you couldn't fix it but could get it going with your spares until next bursary day then I'd for sure be able to come and bask you in all of my starcraft mediocrity!!
EDIT:: Just spoke to scott and he's cool, not sure when though as he's busy working, but def before breach!
your a lifesaver, literally no idea what i'm doing
(update on its condition:: just does the 6 beeps thing now, second hard drive is fucked, case is too small and the cable snapped the plastic casing keeping the pins in place off, but that didn't have anything important on it anyways, gfx cards fans work, motherboard light on aswell as ethernet port light, though no keyboard lights.)

You got a dell precision don't you? There are diagnostic lights on the front (1,2,3,4) can you post up what happens when you turn it on? Including the pattern of the beeps, they will be long or short. We should be able to work out the issue from the diagnostic lights and beeps

your guess is as good as mine tbh, no idea what kind of dell i've got, i'll have a look and get knotty to post the results if he's a willing dildo
EDIT:: i recall the numbers now, i'll get on it when i get home! thanks again! (why is it my computers fine all year round except for just before breach? EVERY time
)

Yes actually. I have some pretty good DD2 RAM I won at the last lan. Only 2 GB of it though.
