Try taking out the RAM (memory) cards and reseating them. Same with video card (if it's got a plug in(PCI-e/AGP) card)If it is beeping constantly suspect a fault with overheating on the processor. Is the fan on the CPU working? Might be the thermal compound between the heatsink and the processor has gone bad and needs redoing ...

You can download the networking drivers here
Download the exe files and documentation if you want to play it safe, save them on a USB thumb drive. I'm assuming you want the Windows drivers, but there are Linux drivers available for some components if you were to need them. I'm not sure exactly which Broadcom controller you'll need
I believe this is the driver you'll need since it's the most common in machines.

MEMORY
Minimum: 256MB
Maximum: 4GB
Type: PC2100
Connectors: four dual inline memory module (DIMM) connectors

Plain English;

The Minimum Amount of ram memory that can be used is 256MB.
The Maximum Amount of ram memory that can be used is 4GB. (4096MB)

The TYPE is PC2100. That is DDR Sdram at 266MegaHertz. (266MHz)

Crucial CT12864AA800 is DDR2 Sdram at 800MHz!
PC2-6400

Now WHAT is going on here?

DDR Sdram has 184 gold plated contact pins on the bottom. 92 on EACH side. There is one Locating Notch on the bottom.

DDR2 Sdram has 240 gold plated contact pins on the bottom. 120 on EACH side. There is one Locating Notch on the bottom.

Supporting data is 1) the Hardware Maintenance Manual I just gave you a link to.

This is information about the Crucial CT12864AA800 ram memory module,

http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT12864AA800



The contact pins on the bottom of a ram memory module are for Voltage, Signal, Ground, and a host of other attributes.

The orientation of the contact pins in regard to the above mentioned attributes, are in a different place, when comparing DDR Sdram to DDR2 Sdram.
Hence the added number of contact pins in a DDR2 Sdram ram memory module.

More than likely the ram memory module is fried. Can't say about the motherboard, in regard to the ram memory slot, or the Northbridge chip.

[Northbridge and Southbridge chip are the motherboard chipset. The Northbridge chip for the IBM IntelliStation M Pro 6219 is an Intel E7205, the Southbridge chip is an Intel 82801DB,

IBM desktop computers have a Type, and Model Number.

It's usually on the back of the computer case located near the Windows Product Key.
Example: IBM M Pro 6219 10F.

6219 is the Type, 10F is the Model Number.

Since I don't know, I'm going to base it on an IBM M Pro 6219.
If this information is incorrect, simply state the correct Type in a Comment.

Facing the computer, your left side is the left side of the computer. The left side is the Side Cover, that removes. There is a Release Latch.

It's approximately in the middle coming up from the bottom, and almost halfway across the side cover.

The latch pivots. The front of the latch faces the front of the computer. It resembles a flip tab.
Insert a finger tip under the front of the latch, gently pull to the outside. This releases the side cover.

Slide the side cover towards the rear of the computer, lift it up, and out, then set it aside.

If you wish, you can give me all of the number/letters, (Manufacturers Code), that you see on the harddrive, and I'll tell you exactly what you're looking at.

The Hardware Maintenance Manual I'm looking at, states that it could be either an IDE, (PATA), or SCSI harddrive.

Doesn't state the different sizes offered, spindle speed, Seek Time, or any other information.

I can't installation windows Xp to my PC IntelliStation M Pro 6218,my SCSI drive not detect in Windows setup

go to starts, control pannel, display, screen saver, and power there you can set power options, i use never on all so you don't run into conflicts at all let me know, ps that is for xp if you are using xp

To confirm if your external vga card is defective you should turn off your pc then remove it, then turn it back put your vga cable from monitor in the built in vga port in you pc. or else after turn on press numlock twice or more if its work then external vga is the problem.

The board is probably good but I've seen this many times when folks try to upgrade old computers. The drivers included with XP aren't working on your machine. It's not working with W2K because when you formatted the HD with XP it removed the IBM label from the HD. You should use your recovery disks to restore the drive.

You said that you hear a series of beeps, if you hear this kind of sounds maybe there is a loose connection from the CPU. Try to remove the Memory and put it back again.

The HT feature increases the performance. well if your computer runs better I suppose it would be better to have it on, but if it slows things down then I would close it.

Heres what wikipedia says about the performance

Performance

The advantages of Hyper-Threading are listed as: improved support for multi-threaded code, allowing multiple threads to run simultaneously, improved reaction and response time.
According to Intel, the first implementation only used an additional 5% of the die area over the comparable non-hyperthreaded processor, yet yielded performance improvements of 15–30%.
Intel claims up to a 30% speed improvement compared against an otherwise identical, non-simultaneous multithreading Pentium 4. The performance improvement seen is very application-dependent, however, and some programs actually slow down slightly when Hyper Threading Technology is turned on. This is due to the replay system of the Pentium 4 tying up valuable execution resources, thereby starving the other thread. (The Pentium 4 Prescott core gained a replay queue, which reduces execution time needed for the replay system, but this is not enough to completely overcome the performance hit.) However, any performance degradation is unique to the Pentium 4 (due to various architectural nuances), and is not characteristic of simultaneous multithreading in general.

Not stupit at all, If you need anything else let me know.

You seem to be on the right track here. I would look at the documentation that came with your new CPU and note the voltages it requires, Here is the link to the Maintenance manual for your motherboard. http://www-304.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-45692&brandind=5000008

Oh vintage 386sx? In old graphics cards, there were DIP Switches to configure either to use as monchrome mode or color mode. Did you configure graphics card properly ? Moreover try using mode command to change monochrome to color.

The IBM Wheelwriter 6 typewriter does not have a user-adjustable sensitivity setting for key strikes. However, the issue you're describing might be related to the keyboard mechanism, individual key switches, or the impact solenoid. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Clean and Lubricate: Over time, dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate inside the typewriter, affecting key movement. Try gently cleaning the keyboard area, especially around the key switches and mechanisms. Additionally, applying a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the moving parts might help improve key movement.
2. Key Switches: Each key has its own mechanical switch underneath. If a key requires more force than usual to activate, it could be due to a worn or dirty switch. You might need to disassemble the typewriter to access and clean the key switches.
3. Impact Solenoid: The impact solenoid is responsible for striking the print head against the paper to make an impression. If the solenoid is weak or sticking, it could result in the behavior you're describing. Try cleaning and lubricating the solenoid. If the problem persists, the solenoid might need to be replaced.
4. Key Flex: The flex you feel in the keyboard might be contributing to the issue. If the keyboard has any physical damage or if the flex circuit is not seated properly, it can affect key activation. Carefully inspect the keyboard area for any visible damage or misalignment.
5. Professional Repair: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it might be best to seek the assistance of a professional typewriter technician. They have experience with these machines and can diagnose and repair mechanical issues more accurately.

Tastiera indicated that you have a keyboard problem. Most desktops can't run without a working keyboard. (You need the keyboard connected and working during the power-on self test, POST.) Currently the motherboard can't communicate with the keyboard. What is the model number for your computer? I don't recall a Platinum III, just a Pentium III. Is it a laptop or a desktop? What type of keyboard do you have (USB or PS/2 connector) or is it the built-in one of a laptop? Are you using some sort of converter/adapter for the connections? The USB to PS/2 converter for a mouse does not work with a keyboard. There are some USB to dual PS/2 converters available. However, they don't work with with all motherboards. What OS is installed on the system? Try a different keyboard. (You should try a PS/2 keyboard if the system has PS/2 ports. If the OS is older than Windows 98 v. 2, then the USB ports are even more likely to not see the keyboard in POST.) If you use a USB keyboard, try different ports. If possible, make sure that the keyboards work on other machines. If it does, then I recommend replacing the system. The Pentium III is a ~20 year old CPU. That's certainly old enough to have major failures. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

don;t do it , most brick the PC doing that millions did, just now;. why ask here and not IBM or Lenovo ,we have no bios here, not a drop.
