Oh God I hope not. I just pray its the psu. Especially as it's not kicking in at all.

Might also be worth checking the motherboard to see if any of the capacitors are bulging and/or bleeding.

What about the CMOS battery...Lack of BIOS would prevent posting...but you would have noticed it forgetting the correct date and time a while ago if it was that. I had that a while ago after a power failure from lightning strike and my CMOS memory was gone and could not be restored...I had to fit a new Mobo to fix it but all the drives data and RAID array were intact when I woke it up...I've got one of those protected power supplies now, so if the mains power goes down I get a continuous beep that warns me to save and shut down ASAP before the reserve battery goes flat :think:

I just have no technical knowledge in terms of how they operate. Fingers crossed it's something small. Otherwise I will be doing even more overtime to pay for it. Good job I love my job.

Well, a new power supply and motherboard later I am back up and running. Cost me Â£80, but it's good to be back.

Thanks guy's, just lost all of the FS stuff, so it's time to slowly start rebuilding my collection. As I mentioned in another post I am looking into more sailing now, so may knock FS on the head a bit.
