First of all, please let us know which LED is blinking or is not green.
It seems like a power problem...

hi James

Mi6t0 means there are two important LEDs in front of the sever internal health (check any light - LED in the System Board, reseat parts, swap parts, minimum configuration) or external health (usually power supply)

it is the orange light at the front it goes green then goes orange and it is not a power problem i tryed another power supply and the thermal image dose light up then goes away

[james clelland]

[james clelland]

it has a 2.0gh in it i dont know what gen it is all i know is it is a compaq

[Mi6t0]

I think the best idea will be to check the LEDs on the systemboard.

If you can make pics on the front LEDs and also on the systemboard you will get a really fast answer :)

Regards!

i binned it i took it to my pc shop and he
said the big pc companys make crappy motherboards they see you as suckers they take your money and maby if your luck they micht last you 2 years i have had 5 motherboard in the past 2 years and all of the havent lasted but my gigabyte mother board has lasted 4 years and still going so i an not buying from the big pc companys again it is cheper to build my own pc if i have any problems it will be cheper to fix or replace
test your motherboards a proper test not just through it together and hope it works some people pay thousands for somthing it is worth hundereds
thank you james
