Subject: [TCLUG] Dying Computer [OT]


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?
