I have a Netvista 8311 with XP that fails to boot. I get to IBM loading page, sometimes F1 and press F11 to restore. At that point the computer freezes and fans come on. I re boot fans are running with black screen.
I purchased a tested matching motherboard off eBay. I installed it but DOA. Re installed
old motherboard went back to the same problems.
I also tried a different hard drive with Windows 98, blank.
I do get a no operating system message, configuration problem and security timed out.
I left the system unplugged for several days, removed battery. Made it to desktop before it froze again.
Confused, is it a motherboard issue, built 2002 with a capacitor problem, faulty power supply, hard drive gone bad or software problem?
Thanks for any help in this matter.
