Strip it to the mobo with memory and video, see if it POSTs. If not then trya temp power supply. If the same might be mem or CPU or bad mobo. If it POSTs ok without swapping PSU then add one thing at a time, HD then CD/DVDm then one card, etc till you duplicate the problem. ->-----Original Message----- ->From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ->[mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Eric C.
