LOL opps

Basically reading the diagonistics lights on my dell it shows me
The Dell Diagnostics is running a test, or a device on the system board may be faulty or incorrectly installed. and Another failure has occurred.
Isnt that useful...? Kindof not!

its working currently...the keyboard booted for once...now i hope it keeps on workin
The date and time is fucked...but thats easy to change

So it just worked out of randomness? It's a motherboard issue, and it's probably dying.

 

[Error 404]

Yep, motherboard is definately going to go.
NeotonicDragon, is your CPU an LGA 478 or LGA 775?

Good To know...:shadedshu

Now it is just crashing with the Blue Screen of Death...

I guess it's possible that there were too many USB devices taking power and you have damaged the motherboard. Also remotely possible that a BIOS setting can fix this.

Maybe someone else has better suggestions.

Hubs are plugged into the wall. Only 1 USB port would get power from to PC on a hub.

I'd consider getting a PS/2 keyboard like other people have said. I've always used them since I've never seen a point in getting a USB keyboard. XD

I would do that if I had PS/2 Ports >_<

have another go at reseting your bios. leave the battery out for 30 minutes as well.

Also, before you send this one to the graveyard, try a different USB keyboard and mouse.

You should be happy. My motherboard is backwards. It has PS/2 ports, they work fine, but it just doesn't like USB keyboards. o.o'

No ps/2 ports? Weird...

Ok, you should look at getting a new motherboard.
Something like these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813153056R

The second one is good for if you want to upgrade your other parts later, such as a new CPU or better graphics cards!

Lol, if you're capable, you could get another case and transfer your parts into that: dell cases in the P4 era are dreadful when it comes to cooling... you'd be doing your hardware a favour by putting it in a proper case: also, with a new mobo you'd be able to OC your hardware (if you wanted to), or at least use it to its full potential.
If you dont have the money, then you'll be looking at a BSoD until you do.

or untill it dies...

 

[NeotonicDragon3]

Its dead....It can barely keep up without BSODing...

 

[Bundy]

Neotonic Dragon.....it's like torture watching your computer slowly die.....RIP now.

Soon we will see the new Neotonic Dragon?Risen from the ashes

[NeotonicDragon3]

It's Alive and working but crashes when i move or touch the USB ports or any usb connection

 

[Error 404]

You'd be wise to have a look at those links I gave you, or even the bargain bin in your nearest PC store...
Your mobo is seriously screwed.
