Ha ha...... Unfortunately not. My computer that is broke, is a bought machine, has been working fine for last year, the problem was just there when I went to switch it on yesterday. The only reason I used my mates bundle is that I assumed everything would be OK on it, the board, processor and RAM were all in place when delivered and Novotech supposedly test them before sending them out. It did not help my problem so its gone back in the bag ready for him to pick up.
The two PSU's I have used are 400 & 500W, the 500W one bought today when I thought it could not possibly be anything else.
This one has really got me, I have now tried 2 PSU's, two graphics cards and on board graphics, three motherboards, three RAM sticks, three CPU's and half a dozen IDE ribbons. Tried it in the case and out of the case. The only constant I seem to get is that the hard drives and DVD drives only spin when the IDE ribbons are not connected, still don't get any posting though.
The problem reminds me of many years ago when IDE's did not have any little notches to make them fit the correct way and you put one on the wrong way round. The HD light and the lights on the DVD'd are constantly on, but don't work, you cannot even open the DVD drawer. Disaconnect IDE and drawer opens!!
