So here's a situation for the hardware doctors in the house. My Pentium 200 MMX at home seems to be dying. The first warning was that I got an error message about a possible IO conflict on 2F8 (IRQ 3?) while boot, but after booting everything worked fine after booting (including the modem which I think is on IRQ 3). Next boot, the sytem wouldn't come on at first. When I hit the power the drive LEDs came on, but no boot messages went to the screen. Also, the normal boot sounds didn't occur ( beeps, checking floppy drive, hard disk searching, etc.) I hit the power again, waited a couple of minutes, when I turned it on it booted and worked fine (though the IO warning was still there). Then, the last couple of times I tried to turn it on, it didn't work at all (it acted just like the other time). At first I thought the problems might be heat related since I have no AC, but I tried this morning when the temp was below 80, and still no luck. So any hints on what I should try? Is it probably my motherboard? -- Jim Crumley | crumley at fields.space.umn.edu | Work: 612 624-6804 or -0378 |
