Subject: SCOUG-Help: Help with Old Computer...?

I wish to invite speculation as to what might be causing my most recent =

headache.

I have retrieved a retired computer from the garage. It has a K7 Triton =

400 motherboard with an AMD Athalon XP 1500+ and 0.5 GB main memory. It =

now has two IDE drives on channel 2 and a sole IDE CD reader on channel =

1 (I cannot boot from the CD unless it is on the first channel.) Twice
I =

was able to install eCS 2.0 rc1, but now when I try to run eCS, just =

before the Snap driver logo shows on the screen, the screen goes blank =

and the computer turns itself off. Now, also, when I try to reinstall =

eCs or Win98 (for nostalgic reasons), when the early installation has =

finished and the screen says we are about to copy a lot of files, the =

screen goes blank and the computer turns itself off.

My first instinct was to suspect the power supply, especially in this =

heat and no air conditioning (Costa Mesa, usually have sea breeze). I =

swapped in a power supply from another retired computer. Same problem.
I =

do have a new power supply on order, but I no longer suspect that as
the =

problem.

There is a reputed Indian saying that you should not judge another
until =

you have walked a mile in his moccasins. In like vein, I believe you =

should not try to fix another's computer until you have sat at his =

keyboard. However, I still am asking for anyone's speculation as to
what =

may be causing this problem.
