hello all

I have a dell dimension 2400 that is about 3 years old.  It just up and quit loading.  There is no visual on the monitor.  I turn it on, the light turns green, the ABCD lights on the back are all green, the fan starts, then nothing.  I do not know if it is even going through POST.  The only time I can get a beep code is when I start in F8.  It is 1-1-2 (microprocessor register failure)?  I was told to take the battery out, put a jumper on c moss, start the cpu, shut down the cpu, take the jumper back off and put the battery back in.  I did all that and still nothing.  I have tried the monitor on a different cpu and it worked fine.  I had not added anything prior to this happening.  Not only is there no visual, just to see if it was loading and I could not see it, No windows starting SOUND comes out of speakers.

pentium 4 processor, 256 ram, 80g hard drive

Thanks in advance for any ideas! Quote
