Got an odd one.

Got a P5Q-E board that wont boot. Over the last week or so I've not been able to boot from from the front panel button on my Antec P180, so I've either killing the power completely and letting boot from the power on settings, or hitting the power button on the board. I've been doing this as I assumed the cable from the switch in the case was damaged.

Anyway - last night I powered off the PC as usual, come today I try and power the machine on and nothing. Dropped the power and back on.... nothing. Popped the case open and hit the power button on the board.... nothing. The lights are on but there was no-one home.

I've recently upgraded to a 5850, so I pulled that just in case - nothing.
Pulled all the installed cards and RAM too - nothing.
Reset the BIOS - nothing.

I'm at a bit of a loss. Anyone got any ideas??

NVM - I found a spare PSU and surprise surprise, it boots.
Looks like my 4 year old Antec PSU has popped.... AQ3 warranty, not AQ5 either :-/
