Hello. First of all, allow me to mention that this is my very first post on these forums, and I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong section :/ Mods and admins, please feel free to move this thread if necessary. Also, Sorry if the images I have provided are too large, if it is more convenient, i can remove the image tags and leave them as URL links?
So I have an old Compaq Presario 5000 series.
Processor: AMD Athlon Model 1700
RAM: 256MB SyncDRAM (Originally, but I am not sure if my stepdad has upgraded it)
HDD: 40GB UltraDMA (Again, this is the original but I am unsure if it's been upgraded
Graphics Card: nVidia NV11 MX200
OS: Originally Windows XP Home, Microsoft Works 5.0, however there are complications, to be elaborated.
My problem: I cannot remember how the computer failed, but I know it was a couple of years ago. Now, when the PC is turned on, I get this: (in order of what happens on screen)
Compaq Logo:
Boot Order:
Compaq Logo (Again):
Boot Order (Also again):
Compaq Logo (A third time):
Error:
This is what happens when I boot the computer with Compaq Quickrestore (Disc 1) inserted:
Compaq Logo:
No Idea What Any of this Means:
Compaq Quickrestore:
And it Proceeds With This Error:
I also have fresh hardware at my disposal:
Two 40GB HDD's
(Western Digital:
) (Hitachi:
).
Eight RAM Boards (Four of which are 512MB, the other four are 256MB)
And 3 RS components, unfortunately I haven't a clue what each of them are
Any suggestions and help is appreciated, thank you in advance!!!
