No Boot
beeps like an English cop car, even after it gets turned off...I took out the CPU to see if it was fried, but it looks fine... My guess would be a mobo problem, but I was wondering if anyone knew what else I could check... Thanks, Tom -- *'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'* A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it's not open.
