ok, "laugh haha he has a dell", well its old and not being used anyway but my mum decided she wanted to use it for work and other crap so she asked me to get it going, the hdd it has was f***** so i got an 80gB WD off my mate for a tenner chucked it in switched the power on nothing happens,
the fans spin, the hdd powers up and thats all. i removed the ram and got the beeping noises, reset the bios by taking out the battery but still no luck, ive looked at the tutorials but they were not of any help.
Here are specs:
WD 80GB Caviar IDE
1xDVD ROM
1x CD-RW
Pentium 4 1.73Ghz 432 (i think)
ATI 9250 256MB
I know one of the IDE ports is fried so im buying a IDE controller, so any suggestions on why this baby wont boot, im pretty sure its not a PSU problem
thanks in advance to everyones advice
