I think you're right. I turned it off and again couldn't get a startup. I removed the PRAM battery and unplugged it for a few minutes, put it back and then it started up fine. I'll try your idea of adding in a bunch of drives to tax the psu. (I haven't been able to figure out how to test the psu during boot--the plug has to be connected to start up--guess I'll have to take the psu apart or something.) Also--how important is the outlet ground? None of mine in this house are grounded (even though they've got the 3rd hole)--ancient ancient wiring. If it's that important, I could run one to a cold water line or a radiator or something. Thanks again, Joe -- **** Joseph C. Welling Joe The Juggler 2109-A Alfred Ave. St. Louis, MO 63110-3301 U.S.A.
