Congrats man, I'm glad you got it hammered out. I knew you would have to call from what I had read, but as I stated, I had never done it, I'm happy to hear it was simple & you didn't lose any files on the repair install.

As you can see from my above post Im up and running and starting to put on the finishing touches now.

I want to thank everyone for their assistance

Shamus thak you for the offer.

and to everyone your help is greatly appreciated.

You guys are the best.

Tell ya what. If their other boards are like the one I used
(Gigabyte K8 Triton series K8NSC-9 ATX socket 939)

This was a very easy Mother board to set up.
Nary a problem (knock on wood)

Basically I have now build my second computer.

I used all the old parts including the case But I literally took it apart down to the last screw in the case. I even took all the fans out
Gave everything a good cleaning and put it all back together again.
so far so good.

Little more farting around with it like I said and I'll be good to go probably 100 % sometime tomorrow

Thanks again

Ohhh mannn. But they will get lonely!

LOL actually All I know for sure is the CPU was fried.
Gonna bring the motherboard in and have that checked.
If it still works I should be able to pick up a Socket A CPU pretty cheap and I'll hook it up for my daughter inasmuch as for what few games she plays and the stuff she does Doesnt require a faster processor or the best

Or to run old Dos/Won3.1 stuff I miss like I was gonna do with the P500

Well up here in the Seattle area its "Leave your old pc on the street day"

I'll keep my eyes out for ya if you want (i just gave away 2 850mhz tbirds i resurrected to needy kids ) i'm really getting tired of all the slot A 233 pents though .. i must have 5 of those in my "closet of pc hell" right now ,junky dell stuff .

those 800's make great kids pc's my 5 year old loves his .. not to slow for a sometimes impaitent youngster.

the socket A semprons are really cheap but ......... they dont always work very well on most of the mainboards and they ussually need a bios flash (i hate flashing bios) there a dirivitive of the stupid applebred cpu.. that IM Roo Opinion is a real pos.
