Greetings Sporg: Thank you for the suggestion. I don't think the power button on the case was/is bad. But, I could be wrong. Since I put this other power supply in here, I have yet to experience any problems. Of course, with my luck, I will turn the computer off and it wont come on again! But seriou...

Guys, Thanks for all the suggestions and help with this matter. I got that powersource installed and all seems to be working fine for me now. I have not had any issues since I first powered the computer up and powered it down. So, I assume all is well. Although, since this power source has been repl...

Greetings: I scooped up and installed the Antec NeoHE 550W. Although, I have not connected the monitor to know for sure that all is well, I will say that the computer turns on. Fans, lights, etc. :) :supz: Somehow in the process of getting things together, I left a wire from the PS unattached... wel...

i put in an order for a PSU. I held off on the mobo. So, we will see what happens. I hope that I have this "luck" that you mentioned though. LOL Should I not be that lucky, my next post will include items I intend to purchase for my next build and I will solicit feedback on what I am think...

Apoptosis, Thanks! I just checked on those powersources, and I will put an order in shortly. (Unfortunately, I think my motherboard is toast, so I am likely gonna order another one.) Or would you suggest that I just order the ps, and see if it works with the mobo? (Right now, the powerstandy light c...

Apoptosis, Would a "screwy" powersource be able to cause the problem that I described? I am gonna take your advice and get a better source, but I am just curious if anyone has an ideas on why this would happen. Could it be that there is some "surge" of power on shut-down that &qu...

Greetings All: So, a little while back, I had the problem with my computer (described in post 1), and I thought I had an issue with my motherboard OR my processor as my computer will not start and I had pretty much eliminated, or so I thought everything else. Well, I replaced my motherboard with an ...

@kenc51... I apologize for the misread/misinterpretation. That last part of your last post ("...letting the temps go too high") is probably what did it for me because I dont OC. I had not recently thought about this, but it turns out that the room where I have this computer gets incredibly...

@mike and moon111.. thanks for the input here. About the only things I have not done are to try resetting the bios AND trying to start the computer in the absence of all devices and memory. Will keep you guys abreast of what happens. BTW, does anyone have any suggestions on ASUS (or other) motherboa...

@ knightrid, I have not done any of that as of yet. Let me ask this though: If one of those connectors was off as you mentioned, would the computer have functioned for two years? (I really don't know.) This computer has been rocking for me since Sept of 2004. I will try that what you mentioned thoug...

Thanks for the input. I will definitely wait to hear what others say. But, based on all that I have done, read and heard from you, it certainly looks like the MOBO is the snake in the grass.

Thanks for the welcome to the board. I was not OC'ing at all. (After reading all these posts, I actually know what OC'ing is. :) ) But, no. I was not doing anything aside from trying to turn the computer on. From the sounds of it, the MOBO has got to go! My buddy who put this together is far far awa...

Thank you for the speedy reply. I did not do anything prior to this happening. (No static shocks or anything.) I just went to turn it on, and it would not come on. It had been off for a couple of days. (I had shut it down.) Also, this computer has been functioning for almost 2 years now. This is the...

Greetings: I am new to this board and hope that someone might be of assistance. I went to turn on my computer which was built for me. (I ordered the parts and someone put them in for me.) The configuration of my computer is: P4 3EGHz, 800 MHz, 1MB Cache ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe ATI Radeon Pro AGP 8X 128...
