I had bad NVRAM problems a while back on my 9600 Kansas that made me think I killed my computer. No matter how early I tried the PRAM Zap, I got nothing. The only solution was to pull EVERYTHING, not just the PRAM battery, and hit the CUDA switch. I think the Kansas' 390W power supply supplies power to the board for a while after the computer is off. Even when installing cards I have to wait for the PS to discharge. I never had the PS oddity w/my s900, but that was only 250W. The problem originally arose after I took my computer completely apart to dust it. Hitting the CUDA switch w/nothing connected to the board was the ONLY thing that made my computer come back. The PRAM zap before the chime might work with other Tsunami based mobos closer to the s900. What does CUDA stand for anyways? It couldn't be weirder than CMOS. -Charles -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
