Monday night, I shut my computer down to give it a rest. Tuesday I tried to turn it back on, and it wouldn't. It won't boot, won't POST, won't even give me the BIOS screen. There is power going to the MoBo, and both of the CD drives, and both HDDs are spinning when I turn it on; whether or not the IDE cables are connected. I've tried replacing the BIOS battery, disconnecting some/all of my IDE drives, cleaning gunk from the CPU heatsink, removing the graphics card (as it's BIOS wouldn't show up either). I'm at a loss. It worked fine one day, and the next, it just sits there and hums. The HDD activity light is solid if the IDE cable is plugged in. I also tried shorting the CMOS but that hasn't helped either. Any thoughts? ===== "What a long strange trip it's been." --The Grateful Dead-- Kindly yours, Billy S G McCarthy __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
