Hello Sir,

Thanks. I've been having a nice use of TestDisk and Killdisk. Though the Flash problem has not been rectfied but TestDisk and Photorec as helped with recovering data on my system and managing hard disk. Righ now, I have a RunDisk flash Drive doing well so bye 2 any of such problems. Thanks Once more.

However,there is a system that hasn't worked 4 a long time and I put it on. but It appears that somehow it couldn't boot from the ROM in the Mobo. It just powers on but no display, Process indicator on the system unit goes red all day long without blinking to indicate processing and Monitor has no display at all.
I've checked almost every cable in the system unit but 2 no avail. What do you think is the problem and what do you advice?

Lastly, I've always heard of BIOS flashing. when does the BIOS require flashing?

Ur blessed.

do you have RAM in place ?
Is the CPU fan working ?
Are you sure your CPU is properly alimented ?
Isn't your chipset or CPU fried ?

How many beeps do you get, if any ? (none is a bad omen)

Hello,

Sorry 4 the delay. The problem was due to excessive dust affecting the RAM. I only removed RAM, cleaned it and entirely cleaned the mobo. Everything is working well.

Thanks VGR.
