I'm trying to fix this computer, its in a serious mess...
i built it for a friend like, 5 months ago, a pretty nice system... AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 1GB DDR Ram, 160GB Serial ATA Drive, DVD/CDRW Drive, now he brought it back to me.
said it wouldnt boot, and when it does boot it makes a lot of noise.
so i hook it up, found out the noise came from a broken fan in the front of the case, so i fixed that, reinstalled windows OVER the existing installation, reinstalled all the drivers, and then he brought me he's wireless logitech keyboard, said it was giving him so problems,
the minute i hook it up, the computer shuts down instantly!
and would NOT boot again.
now the SCARY Part is, that when i plug in the AC Power Cord, i hear this high tone screeching noise and the computer won't budge.. cant power it on. and that noise is fricking me out. what is that??
does anybody know?
please answer me ASAP.. this is kind of urgent
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
