Hello there,
i have a very old computer of compaq with intel pentium 4. (somewhat like compaq sr2170nx). The problem is that theCPU PC automatically powers off after about 10-15 secs.
I switch it on, i can hear the POST beep, and the american megatrends bios screen, the a: drive error and NVRAM loading (NVRAM loads windows 7).
It used to work fine even with the a: drive error, but today the problem started to show up. Also i thought if it was a problem of the NVRAM but around 15 tries i got the windows 7 loading screen for 1 second. Also the twist- i used to get the compaq bootloader (or whatever i am a noob) but today i got the HP invent bootloader! this never happened.
Also thats not a cooling fan failure because sometimes the fan buzzed at the max speed.
The computer is around 14 years old and also it had a VERY wierd error previous year which got fixed automagically.
Thanks,
