New hd blew when plugged in (and a few others as well blew instantly when connected)
New psu(s) didn't change anything.
So still no idea what is causing hard drives to blow. Gulp
And don't know if I can salvage the graphics card or sound card, memory etc...
Am ready to throw the whole thing away now as 2 different repair shops dont know the cause...and I sure don't have any further ideas...
Yell out if anyone needs a brand new psu! (or 2)

844789 2010-02-18 01:19:00 Which PSU did you get and where did you get it from?

You didn't plug the HDD in while the PC was turned on, did you?

Then that leaves the board itself if you've swapped the PSU.

Probably more like, won't spin up after pluggin in.
We tested one with another pc prior, then again after using in this pc, which wouldn't fire up again afterwards...
