JAY, Check the clock speed jumperand see if its right for your cpu your manual tells you how. older one are 100mhz and 133mhz And check to see if your cpu is getting hot. and your fan is in the cpu fan 1 location

Hi Jay,
See if you can boot up into the BIOS via F2 or Delete and alter some settings. Also, it will be helpful to let us know what graphics card, motherboard, and processor you are using to help identify the problem.
