Hi,
M7VIG 400 motherboard, amd athlon 3000, lan-vid-sound on board. The other day is was showing the wrong date. Reset, and next day same thing.
Had a couple of rebooting loop issues and thought it might have been XP3 errors. Same day, got a new battery replaced and it still was rebooting.
Used emergency linux tool/disk and removed most important data. Restart and then there was this ticking noise. Restart again and no screen showed up. Disconnected hard drive and noise still there. Disconnected all fans (temporarily) and noise still there. Nothing in CD and lights are not coming on.

I am at a loss. What could be making the noise an is it related to the system not starting? Power supply is comming on, but does not seem to be source of noise. CD drives will not open

No post beeps. Very weird. Ran perfect until I ran WISE registry cleaner then started boot the boot looping. Then the ticking started after battry replacement. Replace that battery, still ticking.
Before giving up ran disk check tools and hard disk was okay.
Then tried reinstall XP. Would not complete install.
Now I have nothing, no post, no cd writers, no display.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
John
