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.

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???
