hmm, seems to be switching off JUST as the GFX card is initialized - each time.
do you have a spare GFX card?

thanks lee, finally i have made the disk - it asked for a CD-WR disk for some reason.

now to test it.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

your disk worked untill i pressed a key - and then it did the same - turns OFF
i messed with APM and ACPI to no avail, still turns off at the press of a key.

Sounding more and more like the motherboard.

[flycatchr]

mmmmmm, dont like the sound of that



thanks geth, i have found similar mobo online, 2nd hand, hope its still available

[Megageth]

To be on the safe side, might be better to take it in and have a techie test, but my $ would be on motherboard failure.

spot on Geth
i have another mobo and it works with the original CPU, now i am sitting on "startup repair" hoping that i will get the info on my raid HDDs.

if anyone has tips on resoting info from raid 0 i would appreciate the tips.

startup repair didnt work, but set raid up in bios and i am SORTED - what a relief, still got all my info - busy backing up nyx: nyx: nyx:
