There's an unlocked BIOS for the HP A8AE-LE by 1234s282 that lets you change the BCLK frequency. I replaced the 820uF capacitors on this board a couple years ago, and it cleared up the screen artifacts. Mine currently has an Athlon X2 4200+ CPU, 4GB of ram, 30GB Kingston SSD running Windows XP, 400W Rosewill PSU, and a Dell OEM GeForce GTX 260. I've experienced every issue you have with this machine, so I'd like to see it repaired and upgraded.
I have one of these AMD 64 systems with the same chassis in my storage space. The front lid and bay panel is a slightly darker shade of silver instead of white, as you probably would have preferred. Canadian channel The Retro Recall also featured one of these very recently... and it was the white front panel variety, like yours. I had half forgotten about that PC, but after this couple of videos this case has started to grow on me a bit.
I gotten plenty of free systems with these kinds of problems. I just pull whatever is useful and scrap out the rest. I've found out the hard way that it isn't worth the time and energy trying to fix so many problems with one machine.
Most of these old computers are moneypits. Not a whole lot of money though since the parts aren't exactly old enough to be vintage. You could get it to run Crysis on Low if you gave it $14 in ram and $21 on a GPU. Did this on a worse system for lulz (Compaq SR2010NX).
would be a good pc for putting a big music library on if the motherboard was not dying.

Not the greatest system. But would be a cool candidate for a modern Ryzen board swap if you could find a front panel.
I'm not savvy enough to do it but someone could 3D print the face plates to cover those holes.
I see a Pavilion ZE4000 series.

Blessed.
How many times is this chassis going to reused across HP's old lineup?
And this has the specs to run later Bemani PC games
yeah i saw this case on a local listing lmao
@@Finn-n6w6m Really?
@@christiangomez2496 yeah but i didn't think much of it so i didnt buy it

Don't like floppy drives or had to use it for something else?
Fine with floppy drives. Just wanted to save it for a future project since I don’t have very many.
