And to get things worse, English is my second language :rolleyes: , but I will try to make it clear:
Yesterday I was using my computer and suddenly the screen went black (like sleep mode), the computer was still running but I could not make the monitor come back. I shut off the computer, turn back on, the computer worked fine for five minutes and the same thing happened again and after that did not work again. I was able to see the boot screen again twice and it was showing this message "CPU unworkable or has been changed".
I have told a friend of mine and he said it is the Power Supply the reason (I did try the monitor on another computer and is fine). But I really like to see you guys opinion on this; could be the PS?, the CPU?, the Motherboard?, did anyone had the same problem before?
Any help is appreciate thanks!!!
(for now, when turn the computer on, you can see the fans spinning, everything normal except for the beep (it has no beep) and the monitor that does not respond and I have tried with another monitor w/o sucess)

if you could help me with that will be fantastic! (it isnt related with the battery is it?)
 
Actually, in a sense, yes it is related to the battery! :p

Now, which motherboard do you have? Let me know that, then I'll be glad to help diagnose your problem.
 
thanks Bud, you're an angel!!! My Mobo is an Abit Max 3, I have a P4 Prescott 3.0, 1 gig Corsair and the PSU is a Thermaltake 450 or something close
 
Taken straight from your user manual:

Try that.
 
So all I have to do is take the pin from one position and put on another? should I turn the computer on after change ? and I cant thank you enough ;)
 
1) Turn PC OFF!
2) Move jumper from one position to the other.
3) Count to ten.
4) Return Jumper to it's original spot.
5) Turn PC back on.
 
Did that, sadly it did not work, the computer turns on (like used to do) but the monitor keeps on sleep mode, I've notice that the memory, after the boot, the lights, stop blinking (that corsair model full of lights i have)
but thanks so very much
