  1. Am I correct in thinking any Pentium 4 / Socket 775 / 533MHz / up to a 3.06 GHz clock speed? Does the model number matter?
  2. an update.. I have replaced the PSU and this has made no difference - the long beeps continue. So in all I have changed; the mother board, the memory and the PSU... and the problem persists. I have unplugged all drives & PCi's and ruled them out also. That just leaves the CPU... This is the current spec; CPU - Intel Pentium 4 model 519 - spec_6961610100 - Information and Instructions - IMEDIA 1508/2 - PB34213101 - iMedia - platform_honeymoon_imedia - Desktop I'm having difficulty finding a direct replacement, how interchangeable are Intel CPU's? What current Intel could I try? Any advice is much appreciated - thanks.
  3. ..just to add, the clicking is definately coming from the bottom of the MB somewhere around the PCI slots. Any thoughts? thanks
  4. Thanks for your responses guys. Tootech you are correct that is my MB. I have followed your advice and powered up with all PCI cards and drives removed/unplugged. I still get the same problem, but now the 'clicking' now leads into the 'long beeps' (rather that the either/or I was getting before)
  5. I’d be very grateful for some advice with this one, as I’ve aged about 5 years in the last week trying resolving it. This is the background to the problem; I have a Packard Bell Imedia 1508/2 running XP. I fitted a new wireless PCI card to it last week and it completely died soon after loading Windows. The tower would then not switch on at all...nothing. I had the power supply tested which came back as ok. Figuring some kind of short circuit must have taken place, I then fitted a new motherboard (exact model replacement). This is the problem I now have when I turn the PC on; I either get ‘long continuous beeps’ (no screen or boot), an intermittent ticking noise (no beeps, screen or boot) – or Windows loads as normal (rarely). I have done the following so far to try and rectify this; - Fitted new RAM and checked that it’s seated correctly - Fitted just one stick of Ram - Re-fitted old Ram (has loaded Windows once like this) - Re-seated/thermal pasted the heatsink - Checked all connections - Removed Videocard On the rare occasion that it has loaded Windows, it has followed the ‘long continuous beeps’. After this it goes back to ticking noises if you try and restart it – until its cold again (left overnight). Any ideas? Are there Bios settings I should consider even though it’s running the same hardware? New CPU next? Thanks in advance...
