This week my home pc has needed several attempts i.e. restarting it to get it fully operational.
Now nothing is showing but a blank screen saying “In power save mode”
Have tried rebooting to no avail, have replaced internal battery with new one, no change with now or without any.
Have tested video card & monitor on other pc both ok.
Computer AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 500 mb of RAM, running Windows XP Professional, service pack 3.
Have also removed memory & tried elsewhere, both fine.
When you replaced the internal battery you also reset the cmos adjustments,500 mb ram ? 526 maybe, not alot but won't affect startup,start from scratch,disconnect anything not associated w/start up cd drive,omit video card.and plug monitor into mobo (if there is a d-sub).You need to get to your bio's,restart comp while depressing delete.when bios shows up reload default settings.and start up.you can't resolve this without getting into bio's good luck

I've worked it out now, tried the hard drive in an other pc its fine as well, so it looks like the motherboard is wrecked.
