Replaced the PS, a good thought however. This still leads me back to a
clock generator that is not showing any leads moving. The processor
cannot begin to function without a clock pulse. My biggest problem is
not being able to find any documentation for the processor or the clock
generator. Unlike days of old when such info was available, the
manufacturers only give it to those purchasing (or about to purchase) a
large number of their devices today.


How old is the mobo ? We have some older (5+ year) servers at work that don't run if the caps are bad. Replacing bad caps almost always brings them back up. Computers are very fussy about the power supplies. 'Good enough' rarely is.
