Hi, as some of you who helped me find components for my PC should know, my pc's specs are-
-Intel Pentium D 935 3.2Ghz
-Intel Essential Series GCL945 Motherboard
-BT Voyager 1040 PCI Wi-Fi Adapter
-250GB Hitatchi Sata-2 HDD
-HP DVD Writer 940i
-Random Old Philips DVD +/- RW DVD Drive
-Hauppage WinTV PVR-150 MCE
-Colours 600W PSU
-Jeantech Phong II ATX Case
-1GB Kingston DDR2 PC5400 RAM
So, heres the story
First I had the problem of my CPU heating to around 70 deg. cel. normal temp. i know what i have to do to solve this, but the cooling paste hasnt arrived yet.
so today i decided to look inside the PC and Modify a few things...
all i modified is-
-I inserted a PCI x16 ATI 256MB Graphics Card
-I moved the Sata-2 Connection from SATA-2 Port 3 to SATA-2 Port 0
Since i have been planning a new installation of WinXP Pro SP2 the HDD was formatted recently, so the HDD was Empty...
I turned on My PC to insert the setup CD and the PC turned off...
I removed the PCIx16 ATI 256MB Graphics Card and tried again...
i still had the same event
I Removed The HDD connection as well...
I still had the same event
Before i formatted my HDD i had WINXP PRO installed, but i wanted to install it into partitions...
It only started after i made the changes...
DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS WHEN PC TURNED ON-
- When I turn my pc on, the fans,lights,every internal part is working and the monitor gets some signal(as far as i can see)
- I retry turning on the PC,(each uptime shortening) until the 3rd time which when the PC Buzzer makes a 3 beep sound (that sounds like the beeps before the annoyin phone lady says that the number is unavailable)
and then thats as far as i go..
i seem to think that it could be CPU area, because i had'nt applied the Thermal Grease
