Michael - I agree. When it was powering down before - I assumed it was a heat problem with the shutting down before. Although, at the time - I didn't know how to confirm that was the problem. Thanks for the input...
AT this point - most seem to be pointing to a power supply problem. -K- -----Original Message----- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 3:11 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: [NF] Woe is ME with My DEAD PC... Nick is the real expert on hardware, but, it seems to me a power supply problem. It could have been a heat issue for the system to power down in the middle of doing things, but since it won't start up at all now, it sounds like a power supply problem. --- On Fri, 2/12/10, Kurt Wendt <kurtwe...@waitex.com> wrote: > From: Kurt Wendt <kurtwe...@waitex.com> > Subject: [NF] Woe is ME with My DEAD PC... > To: profox@leafe.com > Date: Friday, February 12, 2010, 2:53 PM > Hey there ProFox gang, > > > > I got a bit of a Hardware problem - and I am no HW expert > by any stretch > of the imagination. > > > > That being said - I did build from scratch my last 3 PC's - > the 1st 2 > being Athlon based and my last one going back to the Intel > chips. > > > > So - here's my problem.
