Wierd error

[Psymonkee]

Fixed my sister up with my old A64 (3500+ Winnie) only to find my old A8V wouldn't have anything to do with it

Got a B-Grade Gigabyte board which worked fine

Until my sister got it home....

Worked fine for a few days but then crashed playing Black & White 2. Upon reboot it gets to the POST screen, RAM Test OK and then nothing

No drives are detected on IDE or SATA and it refuses to boot any further.

This a dead mobo?

Right wierdness continues

Finally got a chance to dispatch my couriers to collect the poor PC (read: parents ) and they brought it home.

Dad takes off side panel and curses. It's in a Lian Li V1000 and he took the wrong panel off.

Few moments later and he's in. Checks all the cables and nothing seems loose. Plugs it in, boots it and guess what?


WHAM! straight into Windows - no long pauses or failed boots!? Whats the deal?

Ok bump time again.

PC has been here a few days for testing/tweaking/installing folding/patching games and has been running fine. Flawlessly one might say

Sister came up yesterday and took it home. Get a phone call at ugly o'clock this morning with the same symptoms presenting themselves again

Cursed house? Maybe
Unlucky Sister? Probably

What is going on?

And BAM!

Works fine :/

PSU next I guess....beyond that maybe some bricks..
