Not Booting

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

My buddy gave me his computer to look at, cause it's not booting...Plus, it
beeps like an English cop car, even after it gets turned off...I took out
the CPU to see if it was fried, but it looks fine...

My guess would be a mobo problem, but I was wondering if anyone knew what
else I could check...

Thanks,
Tom

UK cop cars don't beep, they...

Any error messages when trying to boot and how many 'beeps' when trying to
boot?

Two long ones...The beeping is kinda like a long beep, followed by a long
boop...

Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill.

One high one low = CPU failure.

Hi

Can you access the BIOS - if so to Default.

Nope, no BIOS, no POST, nada...

I power it up, then it just starts beeping after 2 seconds or so, then it
shuts itself off, all the while the beeping continues...

Save your breath...You'll need it to blow up your date.

Hi

Go with Cari's suggestion - regarding the CPU.
