This computer is actually my mothers and she had very little to spend on it when the motherboard went out. I know the quality components are definitely worth the costs, and can save on headache medicine too. But that wasn't an option for her.
After getting errors while trying to install WinXP...
Oh man. now it's gotten even more complicated. I put in a different stick of ram and it worked! windows installed but when I went to put in my CD key I realized I had installed winxp home instead of my pro version :( so I started over but when I started over the problem was back with the new...
OK here's whats in it.
AMD Athlon 1.2ghz
PC Chips M848A v5.0
1GB PC3200 DDR (K-Byte brand from Staples)
350W PSU
I really appreciate any help as I'm stumped... Im only a novice when it comes to computers.
I got a new motherboard, ram, and a new hard drive for my comp because the old motherboard went bad. When I try to install windows I keep getting errors. sometimes I get a blue screen when trying to format the drive, sometimes the formatting works and then it starts copying windows files. The...

I ordered my cpu and MB as a bundle from tiger direct that was supposed to come with an AMD Sempron 64 3000+ 1.80GHz / 128KB Cache /...
What part is most likely to be the problem. Im low on money and dont want to go out and get a new motherboard only to find that it was the CPU or the PSU.
The cd drive works when the psu isn't connected to the mobo. I tried it the way you suggested.
When I tried only ram, vid, and cpu on cardboard it still didn't work. Also tried with different ram that I know is good, and a different video card. I dont have any other processors or mobos that...
I just put it together yesterday when the mobo finally arrived. After installing all the hardware I turned it on for the first time and there is nothing on the monitor. I tried a different monitor to make sure the monitor wasn't the problem (since I hadn't used it in a long time) but it was the...
