It's absolutely normal for a 13 years old PC to start failing. Don't worry about it. If you don't want to bring it to a recycling facility, you could always try a lightweight Linux distro on it, instead of obsolete Windows XP. Thanks for the screenshot, it was really helpful to see what the problem was.

You're going to have to be a lot more precise than "it didn't work" if you ever expect to get any kind of help from anyone. As noted, that screenshot is definitely not helpful.

i found it and opened it up and fixed EVERYTHING.

I mean, clearly if you fixed EVERYTHING, then nothing is broken and everything is working, amirite?

Did you try to boot from optical disc? Also could be your RAM. Are they fully inserted? I had a similar issue when I installed non-compatible RAM.

i did think of that and it wasnt that. but it works fine and i guess i just have to wait it out
