All fixed!!

Now for the really embarrasing thing of admitting what was wrong.........

It was all down to the ATX 12V power connector. On the computer, the original power pack had too short a cable to reach the 12V power connector, so someone had added a little 2 inch male/female extention. Each time I changed the board, I moved the extention over as well, goodness knows why because the new PSU reached easily.

Decided late last night to take everything apart and start from the beginning. Put it all together and it worked first time - couldn't understand why until I stood up and the little extention fell to the ground, I had forgotten to add it!!! (Thank goodness).

So many, many thanks for all of your help... sorry to waste so much of your time!!
