A friend of mine gave me the above 7000 to work on. It is an ATX design with
an Athlon 900MHZ CPU. It will not boot! On power-up, there is no video, but
the hard drive and CD-ROM drive go through their power on sequence and halt.
I removed both IDE cables, floppy cable, and all cards except the AGP video
card--nothing on power up. I also tried replacing the AGP video card with an
old PCI video card with no joy. FWIW, I checked the PS with a DMM and the
voltages are correct. It has two sticks of 128MB DIMM RAM, so I removed them
and rotated them in the first slot and tried to power up--nada. The CPU does
not get hot at all, so I am wondering if it is even working. The heatsink
and fan were pretty caked up with dust and grime, so I used compressed air
to clean them. The CPU and system fans seem to operate properly. Does anyone
have any ideas on what could be wrong?
