I installed a new heatsink today. it was fidly but fine in the end. the temps were great. it was on for a good 4 hours running fine.

I then shut the pc down, and restart to go into the bios. I pressed the power button and nothing. It does this occasionally, i have to phycially plug the power supply out.

plugged it back in and the powerswitch works again. but this time no post. fans run, leds light up on mother board, hard drive whirrs for 3 secs then nothing. Nothing at all.

What do you suggest i do?

harware
f-190hd
antec fusion and 400w power supply
E4300
corsair 2 gig ram
ati 1600xt.
help much appreciated.

new motherboard in, pc boots up fine.

Vista is incredible, its sorted itself out completely, even though a new MB is in.

Should i bother reformatting? it seems super stable at the moment.

Also, any suggestions for the old board?

good point, it isnt.

Cheers for the heads up.
