Looked for telltale signs of bulging, and crystalisation (or ooze) around top and bottom, but they all looked ok. Very informative site that, Gibler. I will just return box to him and suggest he gets a pro to check it out or try replace motherboard. Thanks for all your help ppls.	Nyuuji (5460)

440480	2006-03-31 14:41:00	Was there something else as well? Otherwise, why didn't it work when you tried it with your spare PSU?	Laura (43)

They replaced it and apparently works now. I was going to suggest the CPU as I have had a dead one before with exactly those symptoms but you need to have a suitable spare one to try, of course. It is also not terribly common for the CPU to just die on you, fortunately. Glad to hear it was sorted and thanks for letting us know. :thumbs:	FoxyMX (5)
