Thank you for your help, I got the lights working! As for the CPU I guess I'll wait for the heatsink and cooler to arrive before I find another one, maybe a 800mhz Pentium III, I really hope it gets recognised by the board. I'm kind of unsure now due to the limit. All I wanted was to find the...

Thank you for the fast reply, I reassembled everything and bought some cheaper made but more readily available thermal paste and retried with the original configuration Celeron 600 Mhz CPU. It booted with no problems, so as soon as I saw the line on the screen I shut it off. Did the same with...

Hello everyone, As your forums never failed to provide me with valuable advice, and as someone who is far from being an expert, I would like to request your help one more time: Basically, I bought a Celeron PC in a yard sale, and at the time I cleaned it the best that I could, and I proceeded...

Thank you!

Thank you so much, I can't seem to find it anywhere, no. But if you can think of other models that I can look for please don't hesitate. It doesn't even need to be better than the one I have, just more reliable, so I can leave this pc with a stable configuration and move on to a new one. With a...

Exactly, but due to my ignorance I have no idea what range of models similar to mine to search for. My intention is to search for the used marketplace in my country, where the prices are not high at all. The problem is to know what models to search for, more than the prices. Do you think you can...

Thank you, what would you recommend motherboard wise? The powering on but no display issue happened way before my GPUs started dying, all along these 10 years, that is why I always had a nervous attitude towards my motherboard...

Hello everyone, I have had roughly the same pc configuration throughout the last 10 years, with a Gigabyte GA-X48-DS5 motherboard. This pc always gave me the same constant problem from time to time: the pc powered on but didn't display an image. I always solved that issue by switching the RAM...

Hello everyone, Thank you for all your replies and help! It is indeed a SATA 3.0 drive. It's the only hard drive on the pc, and I am trying to get it recognised so I can install XP on it. I was told to try applying a jumper to dumb it down it to 1.5GBs, but it didn't work. I used a very old...

Hello everyone, I am replacing the disk on my old XP machine, and I bought a 500GB SATA 1 disk to apply on the board, an Asus K8V-X, AMD Sempron processor. I can't make the BIOS recognise the disk... The power cable and data cable are plugged in but I don't know what to look for next. I don't...
