Hi, my daughter has a home built pc, its only a basic thing, asrock k7s41
motherboard, duron 2600 processor (i think), 256meg ram. No extra video card
or sound card.
My daughter often forgets to power it down the correct way and never checks
if its on before pressing the power button, (she's only 6) so consequently
its had its life shortened.
Basically what happens is when you power it up it doesnt give any POST beeps
at all and no display, however if I take the memory out then it gives the
three beep code.
Ive tried resetting the bios and occasionally I can get to the bios but it
hangs after a few seconds.
Unfortunately I dont have a spare processor or board to test it on.
Any ideas as to what has broken?
Cheers
Pete
