Try to turn on the pc with only the following devices connected.<BR />1 processor<BR />2 memory,<BR />3 VGA card (and monitor)<BR />4 keyboard<BR /><BR />This is the minimal configuration for boot, some devices on your system may be onboard.<BR /><BR />If that does not work try resetting the Bios, there should be a jumper on the motherboard, or just remove the battery for a while. <BR /><BR />But I hate to bring bad news, but I think your motherboard is dead.<BR /><BR />HTH. <BR />Ronald Tue, 20 Apr 2004 08:42:54 GMT Ronald Postma 2004-04-20T08:42:54Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/my-deskpro-is-faulty/m-p/3249831#M4330 <BR /> Dear Pc docs my compaq deskpro PII 400Mhz with a single riser connector which accommodates the VGA card.

If the BIOS reset does not help, you will have to replace the motherboard.
