Only one thing which resolving problem is to instal Windows againDude, did you even read the first post? And NO, you don't have to reinstall windows again (even if he did get it to boot) |

| 570592 | 2007-07-28 06:42:00 | Haha, this is getting a bit farcical. Turns out there was nothing wrong with the system itself - because it still booted at the store (and at another location I tried). We concluded that my mains power supply wasn't providing enough voltage (even though a voltmeter didn't suggest so). Shelled out for a UPS, and the computer booted fine. Managed to install the OS, and then just as I was installing ZoneAlarm... it died. Stopped. Now it won't start up at all (just like before) and the motherboard LED won't light. I can only conclude that the PSU has blown - the tech said that those Raidmax ones are prone to failing (not blowing up, just stopping). Hopefully they will allow me to swap the PSU for one that isn't...crap. What a pain. |
