BIOS beeps on power up, will try re-seating boards. KB7Q

2 March 2018

Re-seated connectors, and RAM memory, got to boot. Then computer started being flaky, wouldn’t see mouse. Tried re-installing WIN7 from CD, CD-ROM drive would not read disk. Installed WIN10 with Start10 shell so it looks and acts like WIN7. Installed N1MM+ Logger.

Computer is old enough CR2032 CMOS battery should be replaced. Some on the way.

Good to go. KB7Q
