Title: Quantex not booting after upgrade
Post by: JoeS on June 15, 2009, 12:48 hrs

Hi everyone, long time no post.

I'm in the process of upgrading my Pentium III Quantex to a Pentium 4. I got a new pull board, a P4 2.4ghz chip, and 1gb of ddr memory. Everything should work, but when I turn it on, all that shows up on the screen is the "Intel Inside Pentium 4" logo, and doesn't go into bios or anything. Any reason for this?

Thanks,

JoeS

If you press TAB, can you see the text-based BIOS POST screen?

Sure happy to see that someone is still using a Quantex.

My daughter is stilll using the first puter I owned (in the 80's) and it had a gigantic 35 GB HD

She just lets the kids (my great grand kids) play with it . as I sent her a new dell a few years ago

No monkeys available there Ace...just kids
