HI All
[snip]

Had a look inside (my PC-assembling expertise ended at the '486 stage!) -
found that one of the PSU fans was jammed stationary - so located a new
PSU, ordered & fitted it, and same 'dead' symptoms still apply.....

So - suggestions as to a 'next step', please ?....

Many thanks in advance

So do you have green Chinese capacitors on this motherboard? See swollen or
burst capacitors?
