Cleaning out a closet from a tenant, and here lies this newer model emachinge. Physically looks like someone threw it against the wall. The front of the case is smashed out, the cd drive is smashed, and the rear is smashed forward. I salvaged the hard drive, motherboard with processor still on, a nice 17'' lcd, and keyboard. Along with the ram. It has a amd 3400, 1 gig of 2x512 pc3200, and onboard video 
. I replaced the psu with one that came with my matx case. I think its 420 watts, plenty for this machine since there's nothing taking that much power. The problem is, when i press the power switch, the cpu fan speeds up, and then dies in about 1.5 seconds, then it wont switch on at all, the blue power light just blinks. Any clues to what it could be?
cliffs:
salvaged a emaching pc
connected hard drive and psu, ram, cpu, keyboard, monitor already connected, onboard video
press on switch, cpu fan spins, then dies in 1 second
blue power light flashes, 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off.
Ruled out psu, i have 2 and same things happen
shouldnt be the hard drive, i hooked it up to my 1337 pc and view the files
could it be a phat virus?
any help would be greatly appreciated! My friend, who was working with me and planning to buy a pc, his sister recently died tragically and gave all his money to his funeral. I'm planning on giveing him this pc after i buy a decent video card for it. THank you!
