[NTLUG:Discuss] Hardware Question

[David Simmons]

Step one....do you have the manuals....if not you can usually find them
online

Step two....always, always, always clear the CMOS after
major changes (especially if it's not posting).

Step
Three......troubleshoot....replace one piece at a time (video, network,
memory, etc) and see if it works then?

Hope that helps,

dave
