HP Pavilion a110y won't boot, CPU fan spins up to full speed
I just re-assembled my old HP a110y desktop, to use it as a server (I want to install Ubuntu on it). I poped an SSD in, and as soon as I plugged it into the wall socket, the CPU fan started blasting air at full speed. I didn't even touch the Power Button. It has a Pentium 4 or something like that, and I don't know how to ender the BIOS either.
NOTE: I selected the Pavilion a400y as the device because iFixit does not have a a110y, probably because it is from the early-mid 2000s
Questa è una buona domanda?

Just wondering how you inserted the SSD?
Usually boards that old had pata not sata ports.
The only info I could find reagrding the model (I think it is your model) was this and it shows that the HDD was UDMA which is pata (parallel ATA)

@jayeff It does have SATA ports, but that is not part of the problem

I could insert a picture if you would like

@jayeff Oh, thank you! Does it use just a normal coin cell battery? Also, I have not used it for about a year, and it did work. I destroyed the old Hard Drive, because I got it with requests that the hard drive data be cleared, and I could not find out how to use Windows XP so I just destroyed it lol.
