I am trying to troubleshoot a friends pc. The specs are:
Dell Dimension 8400
MOBO: intel 925 Atwood?
E210882 Dell
Phoenix Rom Bios Ver 1.10.A09
LGA 775 socket
The friend originally indicated that it booted up but gave an error for date/time stamp. Sounded simple like it was the CMOS battery. So I booted it up and immediately saw a BSOD initially giving the date/time stamp error but also a stop error: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0x2444c704, 0xf8a1445c, 0xf8a16158). I turned it off and replaced the cmos battery.
Turning it back on, got nothing, no video, no beeps. Fans ran and sounded like a jet plane taking off. powered down then up again (unplugging the power cord to reset the power supply). still no beeps or video. switched out a video card and now (most of the time) I can get beeps which come in as : Long, Long, short, short, Long, Long. At one point I am also able to get some video (mostly if I boot up, shutdown and boot up right away) with out removing the power cord. I was able to get one video message (again a BSOD) with the following message:
memory write/read failure @ 1fe90040, read E906e900 expecting e906e906. memory adddress failure @ 1fe90000, read e906e906 expecting 16161616.
Put a POST code reader in machine getting FF on the boot (which I think means that everything is ok?).
I have tried pulling everything from the mobo (video, hdd, cd, dvd, ram). Read a bunch of the forums all lead me to either a MOBO or Power Supply (PSU?).
Trying to research the error messages are not finding anything that matches the exact errors or even close to it.
I am almost to the point where I am going to advise my friend that they need to take this machine to a shop that has the resources to fix or replace as I do not have the spare parts or another machine that will mirror this one.
Any futher suggestions from you more experienced advisors?
