Is it a Computer or a Paper weight
Hi
I've got a Dimension XPS BIII733r
And its stopped working.
what Happened. I left the PC on for 24 hrs and the Power management system
cut in when i used the mouse it reactivate the system nothing happened so I rebooted.
When it rebooted it had a memory error and only registered 118 of the 128 megs of RDRam.
It asked me to reboot in safe mode which I tried but it came up with a windows protection fault and then fell over.
I tried rebooting a number of times same thing left it for 1 hr (god knows why?) tried again and nothing happens its like completely dead.
has anyone seen anything like this before or should I start putting invoices and stuff under it.
Oh yeah. The hard drives been making a funny noice intermittently and a got a virus about a week ago called js/iestart.gen.c but macfee found it straight away and I deleted it.
Hope someone can help me
Regards
Noodles

Hi
FOUR BEEPS. This indicates a non-functional timer. This indicates a problem with the motherboard.

Pop open the case and take out the ram, and put it back in. If that doesn't help...
Still try to get into Safe Mode.
The worst thing you may have to do is format...That is...if it will let you.
Wishing you lots of luck on this one...
