Hi everyone,
my my Pentium Duo on Asrock 775 Dual VSTA wont boot, it's been OK for the past 9 months since I put it togather but in the last week it's been more and more difficult to boot up.
Now it completly wont boot up. It's got me stumped:
- I have substituted the psu so that's not the problem,
- I've swoped the vidio card with another so thats not the problem,
- I've disconected and dusted just about everything, still no boot,
- on the POST test - the 3 led's on the kybd lite on power on, but there is no 'beep' or other lites from the keyboard,
- I havent tested the memory yet,
- I had an autodect Back Door DKA trojan not long ago, that I could'nt get rid off, I dont know if that may be the cause?
I would be interested to hear of possible solutions.
Regards

lets make sure it's not a hardware issue by getting puppy linux...
get puppy linux...Get puppy-2.16-seamonkey-fulldrivers.iso download it and burn it to cd ...if you don't have a burning program that will burn .ISO files go here and get burncdcc ..a small FAST no frills iso burning program...make sure in the bios the cd drive is the first boot device....put the cd in the cd drive..boot your computer....puppy will boot and run totally in ram...if your hardware is is good working order you will know...
after you get it running and your at the desktop...you take the puppy linux cd out and then you can use the burner to copy all yor data to cd/dvds
you can also use it to backup your data to a external usb harddrive..just have it hooked to the computer when you boot up with puppy...
if you cant get puppy to load its a hardware issue...and we will have to start testing your hardware

so you are not passing POST at all? try resetting the bios either by pulling the battery or switching the jumper.
