I had a PC do something similar... The power light was a gree/orange combo LED, but never went orange other than for a brief fraction of a second before power-down. I changed some RAM (that I found - never a good idea) that was a tight fit. I rebooted and the drives and fans spun up, but the light was orange. 'Not a good sign,' I thought. Then the magic smoke escaped from the fan. The MoBo had a blackened hole in it where a chip used to be (right next to the dodgy RAM). It, too, didn't beep when it normally would. I suggest reseating your RAM and checking for scorch marks... flim. On Sun, 03 Jul 2005 14:59:38 +0100, Korey Fort <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How old is your motherboard.
