i have a computer that i'm fixing for a friend...when i got it, he said the motherboard would need to be changed...and he took out the cmos battery. So first thing i did was put in a cmos battery, and it booted up right away. so i let it sit for about 4 hrs, came back, and it turned off. So i wasn't sure if it was heating issues or what. Now, i try to start it up, and i get a the blinking cursor in the top left hand corner and that's it. So i leave it be for about 4 more hours, go back unseed everything put it back, try to start it, it starts right up.
Once it's up and running, i run stress test on it...for a day and a half it ran at 100% cpu speed with no problem, handled it very well. When the tests are done, i try to restart, and the same thing, blinking cursor in the top left hand corner. Keep tryint to start it, and finally it starts.
Do you guys have any idea what could be causing it to start sometime and not the other times?
It's a compaq pasario 6300us, celeron 1.4 with 192mb ram. Not a great machine by any means, but for what they want to do with it, it's enough.
Please any help????
