I had a bad hd and replaced it 2 weeks ago bad sectors.
now it has stopped starting up
1 it chimes
2 i get a gray screen no pin wheel
3 nothing happens.
i have tried booting off tech tools cd but no luck. same as above
this issue happened 2 times and the machine sat for some time and started up
now i get as described above
i am thinking
cpu over heat.
bad cpu
bad memory
bad mobo
would the chime eliminate any of the previous hard ware?
