I recently was bored on a weekend so I decided to put together my old computer, about five years old. After a few delays, and taking the computer out of its case, I finally got it working and preceded to install windows 98 and then hoping to upgrade to XP. After I had installed windows 98, I decided to put the computer back in the case. In doing so something went wrong. Now, when I turn on the computer, there is no signal going to the monitor. I've messed with the graphics card and other components but nothing seems to correct this problem. So I then took the motherboard and parts out of the case and resembled them. Now when when I turn it on, neither the graphics or the cd-rom seems to function. When I put the power supply into the cdrom, it works, but when I plug the ribbon into it, I get no response. This is an old computer, I won't get really mad if I can't fix it, I'm just trying to set up a network in my house. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
