Jean-Michel again :). I put the monitor power cord into another socket. Eh voila, it booted again. I really hope it will do that again tomorrow :). Well, if not expect another emergency message from here ;-). BTW, I noted something odd (again...): the power supply fan has a two pin connector fan regulator thingy. I think you are suggested to plug this somewhere on the mainboard. Trouble is: I have only three pin connectors on the MB. If I plug the two pin connector somewhere on the three pin connector for 'power fan' the machine won't even spin up. Is there something like an adapter for this out there? I think a regulated power fan might be a pretty neat thing to have... THANKS to all who answered. You are great, guys... tom -- Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net
