My other computer is old and slow but it was working fine until a few days ago when i turned it on it went through the normal sequence but it froze on one of the american megatreands screens. there is no ide detected I'm not sure if that matters. i can still get into the bios but I'm not sure if it is a software issue with windows xp (yes i know its old) or a hardware issue something had died. ask me any questions about the system or anything else you need to know to help me diagnose this problem.If it is a hardware issue how do i determine what died??

this is the link to the pictures of what it does when it boots

the first and second show no ide being detected and the second and third are the freeze screen where it stops.

Incase you were going to suggest unplugging usb I've done it it didn't work.

i solved it for now. what i did was disassemble my system clean it up. i did this to check for broken parts or expanded capacitors. i saw nothing of the sort so i put it back together and to my surprise it worked.
