Have you taken a DMM and checked the operating voltages coming from the
power supply to the motherboard and drives?

HI All

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?

Thanks for the suggestion - but all the caps on this board are black
rather than green, no signs of anything out of the ordinary there....

Thanks all the same
