Hi all,

Please help if u can. I have a 6 years old Area 51 M with the following: MB D900T, cpu P4 3.2 GHZ 1MB 800FSB LGA775 EJ,

NVIDIA 6800FXGO with 256MB module and 2 gb of CORSAIR memory (upgraded few years ago) and a brand new 160gb HDD. I replaced the old hdd because I thought that's the problem but it's not. Everytime time I switched on the beast takes ages to get anything on the screen and then I get the beeps, long and continue beeps. Any suggestions? Is it worth it to replace the CPU and wich one should I get. Any help really appreciated.

Already done that. I wonder if I need a new motherboard (hopefully not) or CPU?!

If you can start up then the board should still be ok. How about new CMOS battery next?

cheers ...

I will give it a shot today. The CPU also looks fine; must get some thermal compound and stick it back in. Will post the result in few hours.
