Optiplex GX110 Pent.III 667Mhz - Bios Freeze????

I have the above machine which can't boot past the bios.

I power up, hit F2 to go to bios, it gets to the main menu then when I
start moving around in there it just freezes. I reboot, and the same
thing.

If I hit F1 for it to just continue on it just freezes there to.

Any hints? Is the CPU bad? the Board?


TIA

 

Try another known good keyboard.

 

Also try another battery in the motherboard. A dead battery does strange things
to computers... Ben Myers

 

If the other poster's suggestions don't work, try reseating your memory
and/or only using one stick, assuming of course you have more than one.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I will give them all a try and get back with you.

Thanks.

 

Ben, you da man!

I know it has been awhile, but I just changed the battery like you
said, and bam, now it works. I was going to buy a new cpu, but for
$3.22 its fixed.

Thanks a bunch.

Now I just gotta find me some cheep PC100 SDRAM and I am ready to go.

Later.
