| 775563 | 2009-05-21 03:45:00 | I'd say it's the motherboard. | pctek (84) | ||
| 775564 | 2009-05-21 07:48:00 | I'd say it's the motherboard. +1 Its not the hard drive or the PSU, or RAM, and very unlikely its the CPU |

The Board detected it didn't have a HDD - If it were me I'd be trying a different known good HDD and see what happens first. |
