It’s 2005 and I just received a solid gaming computer from a rich friend…it’s made of thick steel and weighs aproximately 50 KG!

Before you go any further, you should check the warranty 😂
Wow do you have a pc business or were those part bins all your personal stash?? So organized, I’d be in heaven with all that stuff!
Why did you removed the old FSP power supply? These are really high quality, they rarely fail.
What speakers are those? Also I don’t. Know much about old desktop speakers lol
I received as " Gift " hp compaq dc5100, and yesterday i tried to clean it but it was smoker PC, the dirtiest PC i saw in my life. The nicotine is glued on like adhesive impossible to clean,
To bad i didn't try to make video of it.
I told myself if motherboard survive a bath cleaning i will try to save it, the pc is useless 775 socket, 3.0 GHZ HT pentium and no AGP or PCIE. But i can't just throw it away if it works.
And just now i tested the motherboard after 1 day in soap water and 2 days of drying and it fired up…. and now cap i need to clean the smokers case.
had older medion northwood p4, it shat itself of some usage it is loud as fuck and processor is glued
and shitty msi mobo as well
2:00 A good old GoodRAM stick. 😉
I saw bad caps on the motherboard. Even if it boots those can cause heavy instability problems and random errors
Yeap.
It WOULD fit a sleeper build,but not the real hardware.
I had the same problem with the bios,it was the motherboard…
I still have like 90% of my my Medion Pentium 4 OEM rig here. Also from 2005.
Mine came with a 2.66 GHz Prescott, 1 GB DDR2-667, a Geforce 6200 with Turbo Cache, and XP media center edition. A perfect example of mid 2000s OEM systems.
I see a cheap VIA sound card, which naturally has horrible FM synth for absolutely garbage MIDI sound.
At least an FSP PSU, which are decent. The problem with OEM systems is rather that they are scaled to size for the system they come in.
The mismatched memory is a good sign that a previous owner upgraded it at some point.
And as usual they use the cheapest graphics card, just so that they have one and can write it on the box.
But a LGA775 board with DDR1 is worth keeping around, they aren't too common. Same if there is one with AGP.
I'd love to see it go through some well done cable management. Even the IDE cables can be routed well. And they can be folded.
And for systems of that vintage and older I'd keep a PS/2 keyboard at hand. They often don't boot with legacy USB by default, so you need to go into the BIOS and enable it.
For the BIOS I'd say flash the latest non-beta version over it, just to be sure.
Sounds like an unreliable power supply or bulging caps
hd3450 can crossfire with hd2400 hd3200hd3100 intigrated graphics. totally worthless but eh it does ..that..
First!
