Hi everyone,

You all seem pretty helpful around here, so I thought I'd give this a try.

I've been having some problems with my computer recently, and it's puzzling me to no end... hopefully someone can shed some light on the situation.

I have a Soyo 7IS2, P3-866, 512mb ram. 250w power supply, GeForce2 Ti video.

A couple days ago, after locking my computer (Win2k), shutting off the monitor and heading to bed, I heard it shutdown, then restart... but when it restarted, the creepy voice doctor thing said "The processor might be damaged or improperly installed. Damage/discharge(d?) lithium battery."

I have been using this computer with this exact setup for over a year now...

Now, I've been messing with it all day, and eventually I got to the point where I disconnected everything but the power supply. Then when I tried turning it back on, it said the same damaged or installed improperly message, but this time about the VGA card!

So... I put in just the video card. Now it just sits there. No beeps, no voices, no POST, no anything. Just a black screen.

I'm completely lost here, anyone have ideas?

The only thing I can come up with is perhaps the power supply gave out... but I'm not willing to spend the money on a new one without a second opinion or 10.

Thanks in advance.
