Legacy PC
Had bad board, so I replaced it along with the compatible CPU and RAM
Switches bad on one of a kind case, so I replaced the case
The only thing original now is the hard disc, the power supply, and the CDRom
Power this baby up and get an initial single beep post code
Then, a few seconds later, two long beeps
I browse the CMOS
Everything is fine
Windows comes up, its 98
It loads a few drivers after seeing the new hardware.
Moments later, BIP, it just quits
No error message, no warning
When it fires back up, it does the scandisc after improper shutdown.
Shortly after, Bip, it’s dead again
Each time it goes, I must flip the power supply switch to completely exhaust any power to the unit
Then fire it up again with the same result
Am I looking at a bad power supply, now?
I don’t have one on hand to just throw one in to check it and I just wanted to make sure before I went the expense of buying one.
Any other ideas, or is the power supply most likely the culpret?
