Ok, I got everything hooked up and powered on without the hd being installed.
It is saying reboot and select proper boot device

Shifter 12-02-2020 11:50 AM

Do you have another hard drive, or can you download a usb bootable version of linux to test it?

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 11:51 AM

So I hooked it all up and turned it on.
I am getting the Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected device press any key message
Where is the any key?

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 11:54 AM

Sorry for the double post
So if I hit the delete key it wont take me to the bios

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 11:55 AM

Now the power button wont shut off the power

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 11:59 AM

So the power button did work after multiple presses.
I can not get past the reboot message.
What have we learned?
Is the hd at fault?

Shifter 12-02-2020 12:00 PM

Press and hold the power button, that should switch it off. Does the reset button work, or does it have one?

When you see the boot device request, you have already passed the bios.

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 12:04 PM

I got it to power off.
Where would the reset button be located, I dont think Ive ever seen one on a computer.

Some don't have them. Is your BIOS del or F2 or F12? Should be pressing it on power up not after the select boot device.

If you have a USB linux you can test it, or in the BIOS run a memory diagnostic to load it some.

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 12:10 PM

I kinda hooked up another hd but it didnt boot off it

Shifter 12-02-2020 12:11 PM

Usually a smaller button near the power button. I am not sure manufactured pcs always have them.

Do you have a known good hard drive to plug in?

Shifter 12-02-2020 12:12 PM

2nd the usb linux. Here are some instructions.

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 12:14 PM

Bios is supposed to be del but neither it nor f12 worked as I pressed both while powering on, not at the same.

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 12:16 PM

Ok
Trying a different hd, the other one didnt have an os on it

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 12:20 PM

Well it is asking for an old password from too long ago for me to remember, but it wants to run off this other hd.

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 12:30 PM

Ok
Put the original hd back in and am now looking at the bios setup utility

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 12:34 PM

Wow, this is pretty cool it shows the cpu temp and fan rpm plus a lot more.

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 12:36 PM

So where do I go to check out the power supply while in this screen?

Shifter 12-02-2020 12:40 PM

Not all bios will give you voltages. But if you are powering up with the old hard drive installed, what changed?

Scott Douglas 12-02-2020 12:44 PM

I havent the faintest idea as to what changed.
All I have done is remove the hd and plug in those other two hds and then put the original back in.
Is there any thing I can check while in this bios menu.
It is more extensive than the others I have been into.
