Hello again after a long, long, time. This group helped me build my
present Celeron 400 system -- maybe you can help me repair it!
Not long ago, I upgraded from a 19" Hitachi CRT to a 19" Dell 1905fp
LCD. For a couple days, all's well. Then it wouldn't boot -- I thought.
Actually, it *does* boot, but you have to wait around 10 minutes before
the A:/ drive beeps, the C:/ drive spins up and the DOS routine shows on
the screen. Before that, only the case & PS fans and CDRW show it's
alive. I pulled all the cards and RAM one by one, and reseated them.
Replaced the mobo battery. Didn't help and I ain't got a clue.
The system is about 4 years old now. Could the new LCD monitor cause
this problem?
And now it looks like theYamaha 6416S CDRW is down. Either drive or the
Adaptec SCSI card for it has problems. Maybe I got too ambitious on my
first build.
Thanks, I'd appreciate you comments
