I've read thread after thread and a lot of the things sound like what I need but not sure. My computer took a noise dive 2 months ago and I did not have the time to deal with it. So I bought this compaq. But it has Vista on it.
My computer that is on the blink was a Linux o/s which I uninstalled and installed Windows XP.
I have a lot of software and program information I can no longer access.

The last thing I remember seeing was something about corrupted files.
I no longer get anything on the monitored. I have a wireless keyboard and the Numlock and Scrol lock lite up but not the Caps lock.
I reset the jumper pins for the CMOS,
Still nothing
The Fan blows in the power box and for the processor but nothing comes on the monitor.
I hear the ok beep when it starts. but nothing on the screen still.
Then I hear what sounds like the IDE drive spinning and a beep. then it just continues spin beep, spin beep.
This is what I have

Via Samuel2
1GigApro processor
SiS630E chipset
2DIMM slots for 168-pin SDRAM (2 x512MB)installed
3D Graphics Accellerator
Ultra DMA 33/66/100 function
Main board builtin AC97 Codec
10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet LAN
Micro ATX board

Can anyone help?
