[gentoo-user] PC hardware failure

[Martins Steinbergs]

hi there,

this isn't really linux, but anyway
i have one old Celeron 850 box and during overnight full system scan with 
clamav, something gone wrong. now the state is that turning power on no IDE 
devices found, and as i write, i think memory isn't detected also. what these 
problems relies to? witch part i can throw away?

can you get into the bios?  quite possibly the hard drive has died, but if it 
won't detect hard drive and won't detect memory, I think it's pretty much 
toast.

the power supply.

This beasts are made from the cheapest stuff.

A clamav-scan means lot of harddisk activity, the CPU has also something to 
do...
The harddisk may be toast too.
