Power supply. I just helped a friend troubleshoot the same symptoms. In his case it was the power supply. And of course we swapped all the "easy" stuff first. 8-( John W.

Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 12:01 PM To: 'dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com' Subject: [dba-Tech] Computer Problems My father-in-law's computer locked up, then refused to boot. When turning it on, i see drive activity, but the monitor light doesn't go from amber to green, and there is no picture... i have swapped video cards, no difference. i put new mboard & proc, old memory & video -- boots but locks up frequently (5-10 minutes) i put new mboard & proc, new memory & old video -- won't boot since the video works with the new mboard/proc - i assume it is ok. i thought the lockups might be memory related, so i put memory from my working computer in there, and it still locked. any ideas on where you would go next???
