You have reset BIOS to defaults?

cant even get to bios nothing but a black screen?? pulled the battery and all?

If the PSU has been tested then most likely the motherboard died.

but everything runs when I turn it on is the confusing part?

I've got a way better machine personally this is just a can I fix it problem, if i can find out whats not letin it work I'll cut it off the board and re solder it

 

[minix69]

thats why I narrowed down the problems like i said dont know why the ide hard drive or cd rom doesnt spin when its pluged into ide but without the ide it does?

If the chip set (the controllers) on the board is not working other items would still get power. It is a bad board cheap replacement would be the easiest fix.

ultimately what I was leaning towards!
