I recently purchased a used computer for my kids for x-mas. They think i am fixing it for someone.
It was working great, but all of a sudden it won't boot up. I have tried to boot from floppy but system doesn't make it that far.
I managed to get it started by multiple hard restarts but when my screen lit up with the normal start-up info, instead of telling me that i had a 600 mhz celeron it told me that my cpu setup was incorrect, but it kept going and i missed the setup utility.
After it completely booted to windows i did a restart so i could run the setup. It asked me for a current password. I have never set it up to require a password.
Now the computer won't start and I cannot use the setup.
It has an M754 motherboard with a 600 mhz intel celeron.
Christmas is getting closer and I could use some ideas
