Hate to start on a bad note...

It is such a daunting experience though, thinking something has broken when you don't know a) what it is or b) what it does in the first place sucks!

This - so glad I decided to build my own again instead of going down the prebuilt road.

I know, I know

Can I close this thread, hang my head in shame, and post you all a cheque?? I tried everything, literally everything, including uninstalling ram and sorting the CMOS battery. But no, it was the input, the BLOODY INPUT Sometimes I can try and act so smart I just come across very stupid indeed.

Not to worry mate, we have all been there in one way or another. I've spent many of hours and sleepless nights trying to fix pc's, thinking it's the end of the world only to find out it was something simple that I should have checked in the first place. I know we should look for the simplest of things in situations like this but our brain tells us it can't be that simple so you avoid looking for the most obvious things. Anyway enjoy your new setup.
