Hi,
My Compaq Evo d510 just had a major repair. I've successfully replaced the motherboard, power supply, and processor with a full cleanout. I've left it alone for about 2 weeks, and when I turned it back on, the computer greeted me with a red blinking light, which was diagnosed as a "ROM error". I manually reset the CMOS using the button on the motherboard, and what happens next is weird. I plugged in the power cable, and the machine is trying rapidly to boot up, almost exactly like trying to start up a dead car, then after about 15 seconds, it succeeds and it's running like normal. Is there anything I should do while the computer is still on?
Thanks, Luke
