[OLD BASING EAGLE]

So you are using your employers equipment for personal use then.Shame on you . http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/redface.gif

What did it die of?

[paf]

no idea, it wont power up anymore.....

Bloody thing.

[Neil the Eagle]

Try another mains cable - use one from the monitor to see if its getting power

[David Murray]

check the switch at the back, nothing - power supply probably shot. Easy to fix if it is.

worst case scenario - fan on power supply dies, overheating power supply, power surges through machine killing every pcb in it http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/smile.gif

Could be a lack of virtual mental toughness....

To remedy, criticise your computer to anyone you meet; tell your friends how unlucky you are because your computer is almost working and then sell your computer at a vast loss to someone who finds that it is working perfectly... http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/wink.gif

I have a large selection of computer bits and bobs,give us a shout if you need anything!

[paf]

It's very dead. To be honest it's never worked 100% to begin with, I kept sticking new bits in it and I think I may have gone a bit OTT.

So alan, or anyone who really knows what they are doing with Athlon machines, I'll pay you to fix it !

Oh and I think I may need a new case and more powerful power supply !!!!!!

I'm happy to help mate so PM me or text me on the mobile. I'm going to a computer show early on Sunday so that would be of use to your problem as it's the best place to pick-up stuff cheap !

One question before we go any further - is it a 300w power supply ? - Athlon's should have those installed to work properly and you may only have a 240w one if you've been upgrading all the time ?

[paf]

I belive it is a 300w supply. However, the Athlon coupled with 2 harddrives, a DVD player, CD burner, Geforce card, mpeg decoder card etc....

It's a cheap power supply and I think it;s given up the ghost. Is this computer fair at Crystal Palace?

Paf, the answer to your problem is to get a Mac!

No don't.

And don't rule out that it might be the motherboard or processor that's died. Either way, its not a tragic loss.
