Hey guys
I'm having troubles with a Compaq Presario SR1220NX my neighbor asked me to look at. The specs are Intel Celron 2.4 ghz 1 gig ddr ram 2x 512 80 gig hdd and intergrated intel video.
So when it was given to me to fix it had win 7 on it and nothing worked because it had no drivers for the onboard components. I reinstalled xp home from a Compaq recovery disk. I get xp set up with updates and then it wont go past post, I try another hard drive and do it all over again. I've spent three days swaping out the ram, psu, ide cables, hdd's and the original keyboard and mouse but I can get it to go past post unless I remove one ram stick and move it to the other ram slot.
After a few reboots and a shut down from start menu the pc refuses to go past post. When it does this the lights on the keyboard flash twice and go out, I have used usb and ps2 keyboards and nothing works except moving the ram to the other slot. Any body know what could be the issue or what else I can try?
