Have you tried another monitor or tested to see if the current one works?

Do you have a graphics card aswell as onboard graphics? If you have both try removing the graphics card and see if it works.

My monitor is working normally. I think there is no problem with the graphics card either as my keyboard is not responding also.

How many sticks of ram do you have? If you have more than one try swapping them about and try one at a time.

I have tried my motherboard with power supply of another cpu casing. But that did not work either.

I came to know that my problem may occur due to psu problem. So i tried this. I m worrying if the problem is with my motherboard......

I have 3 sticks of ram of 1.5 GB

thanks buddy, my pc has started with one stick of ram........ but it shows "A drive error" message and "F1 to resume" when i press F1 then the windows started....

so, what the problem do u think with my pc?? is this problem with my ram??

when I swapped the sticks and it responded very abnormally. at first it gives unusual beeps then shows in the monitor "A drive error" "press F1 to resume" I pressed F1 but the monitor went black. Then I removed all the sticks but one. Now it is working.

BUT when i used two sticks of ram it didn't work...........Two of my ram sticks are PC2 4300(256MB each) and one is PC2 5300(1GB)
is it a problem?? if not how can i speed up my pc??

thanx for ur continuous reply....

Could be that your cmos has been cleared, possibly a flat battery that would explain reversion back to boot from floppy "a" drive, check your clock! Right time?

go into the bios and remove or disable the floppy drive from the boot order.

Which stick is it working with? does it go with any of them or just one particular one?

We'll need a bit more info about your machine at this point as well.

Can you list the specs?
