 crossposted from Larian Hurrah! Hooray! Yippee! Huzzah Huzzah! My computer works again! Thank you everyone for your suggestions. A special thanks to Raze who correctly pointed out that it could be the power supply. 1st of all I sent the Motherboard back to ASUS. They replaced the faulty onboard chip fan with a heatsink; apparently that particular ASUS mb has a known problem with the fan. They also changed out some unspellable component n-mosfet-etc. However, the computer still would not boot nor would the fans spin; I fiddled with the wires from the power supply and the fans spun, but it still wouldn't boot. I bought a new power supply and Voila: MY COMPUTER BOOTED UP! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. |

My wife is very happy that she has her computer to herself again. Coincidentally, right after mine booted up hers froze. It runs Windows ME and it is 6-7 years old so it does that sometimes.

I suspect running ME is the biggest problem, from what I have heard of that system...

That's the best news I had today Cleggie! Good for you and buy your wife a new pc will you? ;D Thanks to you and everyone else for their well wishes. 1. We can't afford a new computer atm. 2. Her computer is actually fully adequate for her needs--email, solitaire, and the occasional spreadsheet. |
