My aunt gave me her Dell Optiplex GX150 and told me it has a bad mobo and apparently she belives it has something to do with a recently installed hard drive. I brought it home and started it up, it went through the "BIOS screen" (don't know the technical term, where it says DELL in huge letters and you can enter the setup screen), then the windows 98 "sky screen" momentarily flashes (~a tenth of a second) and I get a 'C:\' prompt. Thats it, any idea where to go from there?
Also, I don't know much about the hardware end of computers, but at this point it doesn't seem like there is a problem with the motherboard.
