I believe the P4 or Pentium 4 CPU requires a CPU cooler. If you have one on there and it’s not running but the motherboard is on getting power, you probably fried a CPU. You can buy a new one over at eBay but honestly you’re talking about 2004 technology. Video duration involved in working on such a system you’re better off picking up a $300 E. machine desktop brand-new. And go to Best Buy and get a 22 inch monitor on sale.
