Have you hooked up the beeper? Do you get any beep indications as to how far into the POST (power-on self test) the box is getting? Check the motherboard manual for fault codes. It sure sounds like there's a hardware fault--one that's not related to the power supply since two different supplies produce the same result. My guess is incompatible or bad memory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?"
