Try another power supply. If you don't even get a BEEP from the PC speaker (usually happens before POST), then that's my suspicion. If you don't want to buy a new PS just to test (understandable), you could email a request here and someone might bring a spare loaner to the next BLU (I have a spare AT PS, but no ATX spares.. but I never make the BLU meetings). -Scott > -----Original Message----- > From: Billy SG McCarthy [mailto:reshippie at yahoo.com] > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 12:33 PM > To: discuss at blu.org > Subject: Odd hardware problem > > > Monday night, I shut my computer down to give it a > rest.
