hey guys... i got this system from my ffriend from work and i was suppose to repair it... well, i have this issue with the motherboard..
originally it was an issue with his video card not working.. we bought an ATI radeon 9250 and it worked out fine for the first week or so .. but after.. it wouldn't turn on anymore..
the thing is that i have no idea what kind of motherboard it is.. or psu (any way i can check for this, please let me know so i can provide more accurate details).. but from time to time.. i can get it to start up completely and into windows.. everything works out fine.. however, if i restart or shut it off.. it can't start up anymore.. i have to start pushing things on the motherboard around making sure they are securely in (first try doesn't work out.. keep trying n trying) eventually it'll start up again... and then the same thing happens if i restart or shutdown...same thing happens.. i checked cable connections and everything.. switched the bios battery.. i think? the one on the motherboard to a new one.. didn't work.. is this something wrong with the motherboard? cpu? power supply? memory? cables?
