Hi everyone, I need some help here.
Basically, I have recently received a PC. I do not know what Operating System it runs, although I believe it is either a Win98 or a Win NT. It has an Intel Pentium III processor and has all the hardware with it.
Although I cannot boot it up properly (maybe that is why it was given to me and I didn't pay for it). When I power it up, I get a message from the monitor (NOT from the OS) which says "Off mode in 5 sec" ; 5 seconds later it shuts down.
My theory is that the computer received a virus and the operating system fails to boot. I know that the monitor is not broken because I hooked it up to another PC and it worked fine.
Any help will greatly be appreciated
