re: The Fans blowing but the CPU's not at home.... Monday, January 10, 2005 at 5:29 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by infected (132 messages posted) Sounds like it's not POST-ing. Could be motherboard, cpu, power supply, any expansion peripheral in pci/agp slot, memory.. anything hardware related. You'll just have to drop the system down to a barebones configuration and see if it posts/boots then. If not, then start swapping out the barebones parts one at a time.
