Here's something you can try -- find someone who knows something about
electricty and who has a voltmeter. Get them to test the voltage on one of the
power taps you have for the drives, etc. You should have a +12, -12, a +5, -5,
IIRC. Anyway, if you don't have AT LEAST 12 volts coming out of your power
supply, you've got a bad power supply (in the case.) Same goes for 5 volts.
Shouldn't be GREATLY over 12 & 5 volts, but 12.xx and 5.xx is acceptable. I
also suspect you may have fried your CPU.
