OK, I am now flumoxed! This new system worked fine for 4 days until I
moved to my back bedroom! Plugged it in and it did not work. If fact, it
did NOT work exactly like before I moved the RAM dimms........ I have now
take the system apart and have the m/b w/cpu and hs/fan mounted plus the
pair of dimms..............
I am no clueless as to how to figure out which of the major components is
bad (for RMA purposes).
I do have a new spare m/b, cpu w/hs/fan, dimms, and psu. I will be
building this hdw tonight.....
I really hate it when a plan goes into the tank! I do suspect infant
mortality. But, at this point I have not got a clue to who/what!
If I were to take the bare m/b, w/mounted cpu and hs/fan plus dimms, and,
the psu to a "qualified" repair shop, do you think they could sort out just
what is broken? ? ?
Thank you,
Duncan

1st thing I would do is clear the cmos, sometimes something there keeps
them back. Make sure clear cmos jumper is in the normal position, they
sometimes ship in the clear position.
Powersupply all connections hooked up.
